Windows code not working on linux? [RESOLVED]

[eluser]amw_drizz[/eluser]
Hello All,

My problem is when I upload my site to my host for more testing it breaks. I am getting this error

Code:

Unable to load the requested class: site_sentry

It has to do with the Linux / windows Naming scheme.

Now all my files are using CI suggested naming scheme, and it fails on *nix and works on windows? WTF?

Anyways hosting specs both local and remote
Local
Apache 2.2
PHP 5.2.9
MySQL 5.2
XAMP Base

Remote
Apache 1.3
PHP 5.2.x
MySQL 5.2

I know Linux is touchy with file names thus is why I tried to be consistent with CI suggestions.

I am trying to make my APP Cross Platform to be used on both Windows And Linux Servers (running Apache only no IIS)

Thanks for any suggestions

EDIT :: Food for thought
In windows you need the class files like so Class.php yet on linux it is class.php?

I am loading my Classes with it like Class.php it switches it to lower case causing it not to load on linux....

People often say this as though it's true.

*nix respects and distinguishes case. NTFS (rather than 'Windows') respects but ignores case.

This means that if you copy a file called 'Foo.php' onto NTFS it'll retain that name for the life of the file, but you can refer to it by 'foo.php' or 'FOO.PHP' and so on.

I think you are confused here.

Filenames are lower case. Read the CI User Guide if you don't believe me.

You refer to the Class using a ucfirst() format, but that is a PHP thing and consequently works consistently across any platform (W32, *nix, etc).

Yea after some trial and error, I got it fixed, I just needed verification.

But all my file names are now lowercase.

CI Library file names are ucfirst() all other filenames are lowercase. Read the CI User Guide if you don’t believe me.

Or just look at the CI system files.

Hey wiredesignz - still not getting enough sleep, eh?

Anyhoo, I was rather foolishly limiting my discussion to models and controllers.

Library files are a bizarre exception to an otherwise straightforward standard - and do not follow either your or my claim (consider 'MY_Controller') of ucfirst-ness.

Look in your application/libraries directory if you .. oh, never mind.

[eluser]wiredesignz[/eluser]
"MY_" is the subclass prefix and is able to be altered as the developer wishes, It's not really relevant to this discussion. Neither is your comment about sleep deprivation.

Oh, I didn't realise that you had implemented a one-way filter on sarcasm.

Humble apologies.

[eluser]wiredesignz[/eluser]
MY_Sarcasm is indirectly proportional to your accuracy.
