Answer 1

Use strtolower on your filenames to check if they exist.

if(strtolower($filename) === '2323a.png')

Answer 2

Imho you have to read the directory contents

function file_exists_ignore_case($path) {
    $dirname = dirname($path);
    $filename = basename($path);
    $dir = dir($dirname);
    while (($file = $dir->read()) !== false) {
        if (strtolower($file) == strtolower($filename)) {
            $dir->close();
            return true;
        }
    }
    $dir->close();
    return false;
}
