Are the reserved words in PHP (final, public, function, etc) case-sensitive?
Would it be valid to write:
Final Public Function

11Why don't you try it out ?? – Baba Oct 30 '12 at 16:37

Why did this need a question? Why not just try it and see if you get an error?! – David Gard Oct 30 '12 at 16:43

@MateiMihai, no, they are not! Keywords are case-insensitive! – jameshfisher Dec 17 '13 at 12:36

4The closure of this question baffles me. "Not constructive"? "Likely to solicit extended discussion"? Not amenable to "facts" or "references"? What a load of tripe. The question is entirely well-defined, with either a "yes" or "no" answer, which should reference either the language reference or the reference implementation. – jameshfisher Dec 17 '13 at 12:39

@jameshfisher I completely agree. I have voted to re-open. – Duncan Jones Dec 17 '13 at 20:58

I've never had a problem with case-sensitivity as it relates to reserved words. Sometimes I capitalize them, sometimes I don't. Take a look at this list for examples of usage:
