-      <function>get_class</function> starting PHP 5 returns the name of the
-      class as it was declared which may lead to problems in older scripts
-      that rely on the previous behaviour (the class name was lowercased).
-      A possible solution is to search for <function>get_class</function> in
-      all your scripts and use <function>strtolower</function>.
