PHP Fatal error: require_once()

Question

As soon as I move my files to my host (at namecheap through Filezilla), only the navbar loads - I use the "codecourse" (previously phpacademy) OOP login/registration system, and the problem seems to be in the classes "../class/xxx.php" being called in "../core/init.php" - I haven't touched any of those files other than changing datebase, but no code has been touched.

The error log (error_log); http://pastebin.com/eZsKrftm

My 'classes' folder;

../core/init.php line 21;

require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/classes/' . $class . '.php');

I have no idea how to fix this, I did everything the error_log says is wrong really, I tried renaming all the classes to have a capital front-letter, but that doesn't seem to be it...

The weirdest part about this, is that it works just fine locally (xampp).

In your log, PHP Warning: require_once(classes/Cookie.php) has an uppercase C when your file cookie.php has not. — D4V1D

Your own dev environment was Windows obviously, and now that you have moved your site to Unix Bases systems they are suddenly case sensitive with file names :) — Hanky Panky

I tried that as well. As I said in the post... made the first letter capital, but it didn't do a difference — Albert MN.

@Hanky웃Panky Don't be sure OS X is case insensitive by default.. — Svetoslav

@Svetlio I am ;) All unix based systems, including OSX are case-sensitive. AFAIK you cannot change this (and why would you?) — giorgio

you are using upper case while using the files but your files are in lower case,

Use strtolower(), for this

require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/classes/' . strtolower($class) . '.php');
                                                       ^                 ^
