Requesting a fix for this... this has been going on for almost 5 years,
yet the 
proper fix for the problem also only takes that many lines of code,
according to 
a different bug report, which was rejected on a technicality.   The
"workaround" 
suggested means that none of my turkish is capitalized correctly.  This
is 
really not going over well.  Please, please, please, at least make the
fix 
listed in Bug #35050 an option that we can set in the php.ini or ideally
with 
ini_set or *something*, if it causes problems for other programmers, and
if it 
doesn't, can it just be fixed already?  It is not going to be pretty
when I have 
to go tell them that the turkish translation they've made is going to be

permanently crippled until PHP 6 is released, and our code is updated to
support 
it... and it looks like PHP 6 just went back to square one so this could
be 
quite a long time.

We discussed it and this will not be addressed in PHP 5, but only from
PHP 6 and higher. Please make sure your set the correct locale before
starting the script - or before including files that define elements
that contain upper case I's.

I have uploaded your code to the server and I still have the same error!

I have multilingual site. Locales are set to en_US.ISO-8859-1 in Enlgish
side of the site and tr_TR.ISO-8859-9 in Turkish for LC_ALL

I can reproduce this with the following short script:

<?php
class foo
{
    function IsHere()
    {
        echo "here\n";
    }
}

echo setlocale(LC_ALL, 'tr_TR'), "\n";

$f = new foo();
$f->IsHere();
?>

(You need to have the tr_TR locale installed for this).

It does work properly with PHP 5.1 actually, and it has to to with the
zend_str_tolower() function which uses the tolower() libc call, which
uses the locale. As in Turkish the I does not lowercase to i you can get
weird things. This is why we should get rid of case insensitive function
names.

It also works with normal function names (instead of classes' methods)
