1.2.1437. Wrong Function Name Case

The spotted functions are used with a different case than their definition. While PHP accepts this, it makes the code harder to read.

It may also be a violation of coding conventions.

<?php

// Definition of the class
function foo () {}

// Those calls have wrong case
FOO();
\Foo();

// This is valid
foo();

?>
