Yes, but PHP does not require the use of case to tell the difference Take
the following:
foo - constant
$foo - variable
foo() - function
$object->foo() - class method
$object->foo - class method.
'foo' is allowed to exist as different 'things' and each reference clearly
identifies which one you want, and all without the use of different case.
