I was just wondering because i have in the past done $db->getall() where it really is $db->getAll(); but get not error.  I just want to know because i want to include a different database class that i have created that has some more functionality than the current database class and the current database class is named Database and mine is named database, would that cause a conflict?

Variable names are case sensitive.

 

I was told class names and function names are case sensitive in some environments too, but after testing on Windows + PHP5, it doesn't give me an error.

 

Regardless, you should always use the same case for all class/method/variable references. It's good programming style and it ensures your script won't break on servers with certain configurations.
