We run into a problem, when tryng to organize class
files since autoload always uses lowercase.

My class file, for example, is named
ArrayIterator.class.php (as the class ArrayIterator )
but I get the following error when trying to autoload
the class:

Warning:
__autoload(/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/teste/fw/arrayiterator.class.php):
failed to open stream: No such file or directory in
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/teste/fw/teste.php on line
14

Fatal error: __autoload(): Failed opening required
'/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/teste/fw/arrayiterator.class.php'
(include_path='.:/usr/local/php/lib/php') in
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/teste/fw/teste.php on line
14

looks like it is not fixed in beta2.

thanks,
Eduardo.

Yeah, this is something we need to tackle. i think we're going to have to 
keep the pretty case version but it's going to be a slight hit in performance.
Remember if anyone has posted a patch for this in the past? If not I'll try 
and look into fixing it tomorrow.

Yes, this is definitely a problem. Today, when possible, we lowercase the 
class at compile-time so that we save time during execution. Supporting 
this will lead to a small slow down.
I tend to agree that __autoload() should support this but I'm not sure if 
we should change everything to run-time or maybe hold a second copy.
I need to sleep on it.
