File Name case check

Hi,
Has anyone come across a utility to check the case of a filename versus a
php page? I develop locally on a windows machine (Know Know) then upload to
a Linux and everything works usually works fine. But I sure would like to
eliminate this headache.

I don't understand what headache you are having.

Personally, I always use lowercase filenames, and so don't need to worry about
case-insensitive filesystems.

Andy,
I also usually use all lowercase file names. But, I down loaded the
ISchoolAd scripts.
and in some pages the filenames are capitalized and in others they are not.
Same for folder names. Same for filenames.
Because I loaded and checked it on my Windows machine it worked fine .When I
uploaded it to the Linux based server there have been all kinds of
interesting things going on. So I thought someone else must have had the
same problem. And maybe they had written a search and replace that compared
file/folder names with scripts and corrected or highlighted them.

It doesnt sound too hard to write .

- find a php display folders loop like the one on www.phpemail.co.uk and
adapt it to suit

- grab the filename of each file

- check for uppercase characters

- change to lowercase if needed and edit/save the filename

Somebody more experienced can tell you how to 'also' check the sub
folders if you want to do it that way .

I'm trying to do that right now and if I get it to work I'll upload to one
of the script sharing sites. Till then I had a flash - Why not just put two
copies of the file in the folder with different Test.gif and test.gif. It
sure isn't elegant but it works for now till I get the code cleaned up.

Thanks for the suggestion it kick started my brain.

How about
strtolower -- Make a string lowercase

Also, there is the string comparison ignoring case.

Thank you! That will make it work I think.

You could use soft or hard linking. It's transparent for Apache and
this way you will not end up having "Test.gif" and "test.gif" being
different pictures.
