What are the differences in behavior between XAMPP on Windows and a Linux server in terms of case sensitivity, and how can developers address these differences?

XAMPP on Windows is not case sensitive when it comes to file paths and includes, while a Linux server is. To address this difference, developers should ensure that all file paths and includes in their code are consistent in terms of case sensitivity. One way to do this is by using the strtolower() function to normalize file paths before including them.

// Normalize file path for case sensitivity
$file_path = strtolower('/path/to/file.php');
include $file_path;
