Hi,
I just tried a test parse of phpDocumentor CVS using a fresh compile of
HEAD on windows xp. It went bananas with warnings and a fatal error.
Tracking down the error turned up get_class()
returning "parserDesc"
instead of "parserdesc", which ruins every time I test whether
get_class($a) == 'parserdesc', for example.
This is such a huge BC break with php 4.x, I would have to fork the
package just because of the numerous get_class()
statements.
Is case-sensitive get_class()
here to stay?

Yes. We now report classes, methods and functions with their real name.
Otherwise studlyCaps and such would have no sense at all.

is_a($a, 'parserDesc') would work for you in both 4 and 5 (well, I assume in 5).

You could always strtolower()
them.

However, you still can't have class foo and class FOO, so
strtolower(get_class()) still uniquely identifies a class.

It seems to me the certain amounts of case insensitivity which are still
part of PHP start making less and less sense.
