Thank you Wan. You solved the problem.
I didn't use the inflector helper provided with the datamapper. I don't use any inflector at all... or at least not explicitly.

The native CI inflector (version 2.0.2) doesn't strtolower the input string.

Code:

echo plural('TEST'); //outputs TESTs.

However it's strange the different behaviour between the 2 environments.
The code is essentially the same: the differences are limited to the db connection parameters and the base_url.... :-S
