Does anybody know if something like an RFC exists for CSV? If not, should we just make one for PHP and stick with it? Or should we compare CSV functions against those of other popular software applications and judge accordingly? IMPORTANT: The creativyst.com page that's linked to in the previous comment has a restrictive-looking notice at the bottom. Don't copy/redistribute that material without their permission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-02 15:04:58] php at tntweb dot f9 dot co dot uk White space between fields should be ignored, so the field ..., ,... should be returned as an empty string and not a single space. The latest PHP 4 version breaks this and returns a single space. To include leading or trailing spaces then they must be quoted. For further info read http://www.creativyst.com/Doc/Articles/CSV/CSV01.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-13 08:12:12] ramon_herrera at eloyalty dot com IMO, correctness trumps backwards compatibility in this case, especially since pre-4.3.4 was so long ago. Compatibility with something that was broken is not a persuasive argument. If a single space char is what a CSV field is comprised of, then, IMO, that is exactly how it should be represented in this function's result. Must there be quotes? Backslash escapes? What else is needed? Moriyoshi, what do your colleagues believe? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
