Is there a difference between self and Self in PHP?
I just noticed that when I write self:: in Microsoft Visual Studio Code it becomes dark blue but when I type Self:: it becomes seagreen. Is there a difference between the two?

Functionally no, keywords are case-insensitive so True, Array, FaLsE, clASS lol {...} are all fine.
But Visual Studio is probably seeing \b[A-Z_]\w+ as a class name, hence the different syntax highlighting.
Ideally, all keywords should be lowercase anyway, so stick with that if you can.
