What is the difference between Array and array?

In this OOP tutorial, I noticed the following code:

public function validate(Array $data, Array $rules){}

My question is if that is the same as:

public function validate(array $data, array $rules){}

In the PHP.net documentation, I could find a reference only to the second form.

Short answer: PHP constructs, class names, functions and user-defined functions are case-insensitive.

They are both the same. Some IDEs only recognize one of the forms, though. (Just like stackoverflow itself, which only stylizes Array

Javascript can only usw "Array". Using "array" in PHP is no problem, but if you want do use Javascript too, it will cause an error.
