Case-Sensitive Argument Bash

I have a trouble in a case-sensitive argument (bash), so basically when I type

./testfile -play

or

./testfile -p

or

./testfile -palalalal

the script has to run a "play" (name of function) that echo "test test 123" inside the testfile.sh

At the same time, it will also show error message like "invalid!" if I type

./testfile -PLAYYY

I really appreciate anyone that can help me. Thank you.

Use case operator:

case "$1" in
    -p*) play ;;
    -P*) echo "Invalid" ;;
    *) echo "Still invalid" ;;
