php - case sensitivity on Mac for file_exists()? -


first off, mac os x not native operating system since i'm comfortable in ubuntu, it's been easy transition part.

being it's unix-based, under impression os case-sensitive, file_exists() function saying otherwise.

in htdocs file, have these 2 files:

test.php

myfilewithmixedcase.php

in test.php, have code:

if(file_exists('myfilewithmixedcase.php')) {   echo 'exists'; } else {   echo 'doesnt exist'; }  // ouputs: exists 

anyone know how/why happening? causing problem because when deploy code linux os, file_exists() returning false.

btw: i'm using mamp pro local web server.

despite being bsd derivative os x not case sensitive. or rather hfs , hfs+ filesystems not, unless chose case sensitive option when formatting disk. not done because many applications have issues (adobe, ms, etc.) - or @ least did last time tried under tiger.
