* Fix For #1509
User expected no CSV enclosures after $writer->setEnclosure(''),
which had been changed to be consistent with $reader->setEnclosure('').
Writer will now omit enclosures after code above; no change to Reader.
Tests have been added for this condition.
* Add Option to Write CSV Enclosure Only When Required
Allowing the user to specify no enclosure when writing a CSV can lead to
a situation where PhpSpreadsheet (likewise Excel) will not read the
resulting file as intended, e.g. if any cell contains a delimiter character.
This is demonstrated in new test TestBadReread.
No existing setting will rectify this situation.
A better choice would be to add an option to write the enclosure
only when it is needed, which is what Excel does. The RFC4180 spec at
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180
states when it is needed - when the cell contains the delimiter,
or the enclosure, or a newline.
New test TestGoodReread demonstrates that the file is read as intended.
The documentation has been updated to describe the new function,
and to change the write example where the enclosure is set to null.
* Scrutinizer Suggestions
3 minor changes, all in tests.
I believe that both CSV Reader and Writer are 100% covered now.
There were some errors uncovered during development.
The reader specifically permits encodings other than UTF-8 to be used.
However, fgetcsv will not properly handle other encodings.
I tried replacing it with fgets/iconv/strgetcsv, but that could not
handle line breaks within a cell, even for UTF-8.
This is, I'm sure, a very rare use case.
I eventually handled it by using php://memory to hold the translated
file contents for non-UTF8. There were no tests for this situation,
and now there are (probably too many).
"Contiguous" read was not handle correctly. There is a file
in samples which uses it. It was designed to read a large sheet,
and split it into three. The first sheet was corrrect, but the
second and third were almost entirely empty. This has been corrected,
and the sample code was adapted into a formal test with assertions
to confirm that it works as designed.
I made a minor documentation change. Unlike HTML, where you never
need a BOM because you can declare the encoding in the file,
a CSV with non-ASCII characters must explicitly include a BOM
for Excel to handle it correctly. This was explained in the Reading CSV
section, but was glossed over in the Writing CSV section, which I
have updated.
