Are HTML pages (and php come to think of it) case sensitive?
So if I have a page called about.htm and in a link I use:
<a href="aBoUt.htm">About</a>
Will it work??

Just from a very quick check on my computer I say it shoudln't matter. But I can also have the extension .jpg when the file says .JPG and the picture shows.

As far as I understand the code will work but it's dependant on the server... Some ARE case sensitive... So to have compatibilty it's best practice not to switch cases... Many of the free servers I've tried won't show .JPG but will show .jpg, for example!!!

windows and vms servers are not case sensitive. unix/linux servers are case sensitive. it's best to use the same case in your filenames and your links anyway even if you are on windows hosting in case you ever move to unix/linux.

my mind is like a steel trap! it only hangs on to the big stuff. visit my forums at track7.org
