* Name Clashes Between Parsed and Unparsed Drawings
This is at least a partial fix for #2396 and #1767 (which has been around for a long time). PhpSpreadsheet renames drawing XML files when it reads them from a spreadsheet. However, when it writes unparsed drawing files, it uses the original names, which can result in a clash with the renamed files. The solution in this PR is to write the unparsed files using the same renaming convention as the the others.
This is an incredibly simple fix, basically a one-line change, for such a long-lived problem. It is conceivable that this PR breaks a more sophisticated file than I have come across, e.g. with multiple unparsed files associated with a single worksheet. However, this PR does fix at least part of the problem for both issues, and causes no regression issues. The changed code was covered in only 2 tests - Reader/XlsxTest testLoadSaveWithEmptyDrawings and Writer/Xlsx/UnparsedDataTest testLoadSaveXlsxWithUnparsedData.
2396 is covered by a new test Unparsed2396Test. I had trouble figuring out what to test for 1767. Since it is a problem that becomes evident only when the output file is opened in Excel, I added a new sample to cover it.
* Sloppy Errors
I neglected to run php-cs-fixer and phpstan, and it bit me.
* Scrutinizer
It's not as good as Phpstan at recognizing problems that can't happen due to previous assertions.
* Scrutinizer Again
It can be really stupid sometimes.
Fix#1641. Excel allows explicit hiding of row after filter is applied, but PhpSpreadsheet automatically invokes showHideRows on all auto-filters, preventing users from doing the same. Change to invoke showHideRows only if it hasn't already been invoked, or if filter criteria have changed since it was last invoked. Autofilters read in from an existing spreadsheet are assumed to be already invoked.
This is potentially a breaking change, probably a minor one. The conditions to set up 1641 are probably uncommon, but users who meet those conditions and are happy with the current behavior will see a break. The new behavior is closer to how Excel itself behaves. A new method `reevaluateAutoFilters` is added to `Spreadsheet`; this can be used to restore the old behavior if desired. The new method is added to the documentation, along with a description of how the situation described in 1641 is handled in Excel and PhpSpreadsheet.
While examining Excel's behavior, it became evident that, although a filter is applied to an entire column, it is actually applied only to the rows that are populated when the filter is defined, as can be verified by examining the XML definition of the filter. When you re-apply the filter, rows that have been added since are considered. It would be useful to provide PhpSpreadsheet with a method to do the same. I have added, and documented, `setRangeToMaxRow` to `AutoFilter`.
`ReferenceHelper::insertNewBefore` copies data from one cell to another when adding/removing rows or columns.
It now also respects the data type set for that cell and does not use value binder again.

Fix#1691. PhpSpreadsheet allows the setting of different page size and orientation on each worksheet. It also allows the setting of page size and orientation on the PDF writer. It isn't clear which is supposed to prevail when the two are in conflict. In the cited issue, the user expects the PDF writer setting to prevail, and I tend to agree. Code is changed to do this, and handling things in this manner is now explicitly documented.
PhpSpreadsheet uses a default paper size of Letter, and a default orientation of Default (which Excel treats as Portrait). New static routines are added to change the default for sheets created subsequent to such calls. This could allow users to configure these defaults better for their environments. The new functions are added to the documentation.
Fix#2387. Fix#2075. There was substantial refactoring of Writer Xlsx styles in 18.0. An existing static property `$theme` was intended to be shared by both Writer Xlsx and the new Writer Xlsx Styles. However, the initialization of the property in the latter happened later than it should have. This PR makes that initialization happen as soon as the theme has been read. Also, declaring that property as static seems questionable; I have made it an instance member. This small re-factoring makes it possible to now support Themes in tab colors.
Since this PR changes Reader/Xlsx/Styles, add type-hinting throughout that module to eliminate Phpstan/Scrutinizer problems. I also removed method readStyle from Reader/Xlsx, since it was essentially duplicated in Reader/Xlsx/Styles. And I added a small number of tests to ensure that Styles is 100% covered. All of this is necessary in preparation for Namespacing phase 2.
Fix#2385. NumberFormatter is using sprintf on a float, and is seeing inconsistent rounding as a result (it will also occasionally result in `-0`). Change to round the number before presenting it to sprintf.
When the fill color property of `DataSeries.plotLabel` using a
DataSeriesValues on a line chart is set, the XLSX file written
is corrupted, and MSExcel2016 removes the drawing1.xml if forced open.
This problem was already documented on issue #589 along with a possible
solution. So all credits go to @madrussa. I am only submitting the PR.

* Allow Skipping One Unit Test
Alone in the test suite, URLImageTest needs to access the internet. It's a little fragile (the site that it's looking for may go away or change), but no real problem. However, on my system, it runs afoul of my proxy. Rather than jumping through hoops when I run the test suite (which happens very often), I am changing the test to skip if an environment variable is set to a specific value. This should not adversely affect anyone, and the test will still run in github, but it will help me a lot.
* Scrutinizer
It complained that my one new if statement made the module too complex. There actually were a number of if-then-else situations that could be handled just as well with assertions. I have changed it accordingly.
* AutoFilter Improvements
Fix issue #2378. The following changes are made:
- NotEqual tests must be part of a custom filter. Documentation has been changed to indicate that.
- Method setAndOr was replaced by setJoin some time ago. Documentation now reflects that change.
- Documentation to indicate that string filters are not case-sensitive, same as in Excel.
- Filters testing against numeric value now include a numeric test (not numeric for not equal, numeric for all others).
- String filter had previously treated everything as a test for "equal". It now handles "not equal" and the variants of "greater/less" with or without "equal".
- Documentation correctly stated that no more than 2 rules are allowed in a custom filter. Code did not enforce this restriction. It now does, throwing an exception if an attempt is made to add a third rule.
- Deleted a lot of comments in Rule.php to make it easier to see what is not yet implemented (between, begins with, etc.). I may take these on in future.
- Added a number of tests for the new functionality.
* Not Sure Why Phpstan Results Differ Local vs Github
Let's see if this change suffices.
* Phpstan Still
Not sure how to convince it. Let's try this.
* Phpstan Solved
Figured out the problem on my local machine. Expect this to work.
Fix#2389. Hyperlinks referring to cells in the spreadsheet itself are not being handled properly. This is the first namespacing regression identified for release 19. Usual cause and fix - need to take greater care with attributes than was previously the case.
* Support Data Validations in More Versions of Excel
Attempt to deal with #2368, this time for good. Some deleted code was accidentally restored just before release 19, causing errors in spreadsheets with Data Validations. PR #2369 removed the duplicated code, and the fix was confirmed in current versions of Excel for Windows, Google sheets, and other versions of Excel. However, there were problems reported in earlier version of Excel for Windows, and some, versions of Excel for Mac, not all but including a recent one. This change, which is simpler than the original (no need for extLst) fix for DataValidations, is tested with Excel 2007 and Excel 2003 as well as more recent versions. I do not have a Mac on which to test.
* Multiple Identical Data Validation Lists
Using the same Data Validation List in multiple places on a worksheet caused them all to be merged into the same range. This was because sqref was not part of the hash code; it is now, avoiding this problem.
* Must Write Data Validations Before Hyperlinks
See discussion in #2389.
* ZipArchive and "Inconsistent" Zip File
Fix#2362. I added test for zip file inconsistency when dealing with a particularly nasty PHP/libzip bug affecting zero-length files. However, we also now verify that the file starts with a valid zip signature, so the consistency test is not really needed, and, from what I've read on the web, isn't particularly useful. The file with a problem, for example, opens just fine with Excel and zip, despite Php reporting it as inconsistent (when asked to check consistency). So, remove the consistency check.
* Update Issue2362Test.php
Latest Phpstan does not allow cast from 'mixed' to 'string'.
* Update Issue2362Test.php
See the discussion in PR #2232 which came about 3 months after it was merged. It caused a problem in an unusual situation which did not come to light until the change was part of the new release version. The original PR changed PhpSpreadsheet's behavior to match Excel's for (not case sensitive) strings `TRUE` and `FALSE`. Excel treats the values as boolean, and now so does PhpSpreadsheet.
When StringValueBinder is used, this becomes a tricky situation. The user wants the original strings preserved, including the case of all the letters. This PR changes the behavior of CSV reader as follows:
- If StringValueBinder is not in effect, convert to boolean.
- If StringValueBinder (actually any binder with method getBooleanConversion) is in effect, and the result of getBooleanConversion is true (which is the default in StringValueBinder), leave the value coming out of Csv Reader as the unchanged string.
- Otherwise, convert to boolean.
This should mean that there are no regression problems with StringValueBinder, while allowing PhpSpreadsheet to continue to match Excel in the default situation. No new settings are required.
* Update Some Doc Block Annotations
See PR #2010. That PR was never completed, and has gone stale. However, it was correct in identifying a situation where the doc block was not entirely accurate. It did not go far enough - several closely-related methods have similar problems. This PR attempts to fix the original problem and its close relations. Aside from the doc block changes, there are very minor changes to executable code. It also changes some of the unit tests targeted at the methods in question to eliminate mocking in favor of 'real' tests.

* Merge Conflict
A change to a parameter name caused several problems when trying to fix it on Github. Fixing it locally should do the trick.
* Merge Conflicts in Phpstan Baseline
PR #2382 made a large number of changes to Phpstan Baseline, some of which conflicted with the Phpstan Baseline changes in this PR. This should resolve them all.
Example: right shift shared formula: IF(A$1=0,0,A1/A$1)
Expected value: IF(B$1=0,0,B1/B$1)
Actual value: IF(B$1=0,0,A1/B$1)
Similar behavior is observed when copying formulas vertically.
This issue occurs because a fixed and a non-fixed cell hit the same element of the $newCellTokens array by index $cellIndex
PR #1844 fixes it, but changes were requested. It has been almost 3 months and those changes have not been made. This PR replaces that one; it should be suitable for all supported releases of PHP through 8.1, and includes a formal unit test.
Fixes#1685Closes#1844
Prevent calling clone and getHashCode when not needed
because these calls are very expensive.
When applying styles to a range of cells can we cache the
styles we encounter along the way so we don't need to look
them up with getHashCode later.
See issue #2331. Timestamp is expected in format yyyy-mm-dd (plus other information), with the expectation that month and day are 2 digits zero-filled on the left if needed. The user's file instead used a space rather than zero as filler. Although I don't know how the unexpected timestamp was created, it was easy enough to alter the timestamp in an otherwise normal spreadsheet, and use that file as a test case.
See issue #2123. HLOOKUP needs to do some conversions between column numbers and letters which it had not been doing.
HLOOKUP tests were performed using direct calls to the function in question rather than in the context of a spreadsheet. This contributed to keeping this error obscured even though there were, in theory, sufficient test cases. The tests are changed to perform in spreadsheet context. For the most part, the test cases are unchanged. One of the expected results was wrong; it has been changed, and a new case added to cover the case it was supposed to be testing.
After getting the HLOOKUP tests in order, it turned out that a test using literal arrays which had been succeeding now failed. The array constructed by the literals are considerably different than those constructed using spreadsheet cells; additional code was added to handle this situation.
This change was suggested by issue #2316. There was a problem reading Xlsx comments which appeared with release 18.0 but which was already fixed in master. So no source change was needed to fix the issue, but I thought we should at least add the test case to our unit tests.
In developing that case, I discovered that, although comment text was read correctly, there was a problem with comment author. In fact, there were two problems. One was new, with the namespacing changes - as in several other cases, the namespaced attribute `authorId` needed some special handling. However, another problem was much older - the code was checking `!empty($comment['authorId'])`, eliminating consideration of authorId=0, and should instead have been checking `isset`. Both problems are now fixed, and tested.
My bulletproofing of these tests was not yet sufficient. Although I have never had a failure in probably thousands of tests, one user submitted a PR which did fail testing NOW, fortunately not in a test that is required to pass. The problem is that it is not sufficient merely to set the cell value inside a do-while loop; it is necessary to calculate it in order to cache its result so that results based on that cell will be internally consistent.
No source code is changed for this PR, just some tests.
* isFormula Referencing Sheet With Space in Title
See issue #2304. User sets a cell to `ISFORMULA(cell)`, where `cell` exists on a sheet whose title contains a space, and receives an error. Coordinates are not being passed correctly to Functions::isFormula; in particular, the sheet name is not enclosed in apostrophes, e.g. `Sheet Name!A1` rather than `'Sheet Name'!A1`. (Note that sheet name was not specified in Cell; PhpSpreadsheet adds it before calling isFormula.) Sheets without embedded spaces (or other non-word characters) are handled correctly with or without apostrophes, but spaces require surrounding apostrophes.
As part of this investigation, I determined that Excel handles defined names and cell ranges in ISFORMULA (subject to spills), and that PhpSpreadsheet does not. It is changed to handle them. In the absence of spill support, it will use only the first cell in the range.
Existing tests for ISFORMULA used mocking unneccesarily. They are moved to a separate test member, and mocking is no longer used.
* PhpUnit and Jpgraph
35_Char_render.php had previously been a problem only for PHP8+. It is now a problem for PHP7.4, and will therefore be skipped all the time.
* Xlsx Reader Better Namespace Handling Phase 1 Second Bugfix
See issue #2301. The main problem in that issue had been introduced with 18.0 and had already ben fixed in master. However there was a subsequent problem that had been introduced in master, an undotted i uncrossed t with namespace handling. When using namespaces, need to call attributes() to access the attributes before trying to access them directly. Failure to do so in parseRichText caused fonts declared in Rich Text elements to be ignored.
* Add An Assertion
Addresses problem in 2301 that had already been fixed.
* Permit CSV Delimiter to be Set to Null
See issue #2287. A 1-character change. The delimiter variable is defined as nullable, and getDelimiter can return null; setDelimiter should follow suit.
* Scrutinizer Inanity
Are you sure the test always returns null?????
Yes, I'm sure, that's why it's part of the test.
Let's see if we can recode it and miss this "problem".
Fixes issue #2266. Writer/Xlsx fails when there is no longer a sheet which corresponds to the definition of a local defined name. The code is changed to drop such an orphaned name. Writer/Xls does not fail under the same cicrcumstances, so no correction is needed there. Writer/Ods fails in a different manner, and is corrected to no longer do so.
* Validate Input to SetSelectedCells
See issue #2279. User requests an enhancement so that you can set a Style on a Named Range. The attempt is failing because setting the style causes a call to setSelectedCells, which does not account for Named Ranges. Although not related to the issue, it is worth noting that setSelectedCells does nothing to attempt to validate its input.
The request seems reasonable, even if it is probably more than Excel itself offers. I have added code to setSelectedCells to recognize Named Ranges (if and only if they are defined on the sheet in question). It will throw an exception if the string passed as coordinates cannot be parsed as a range of cells or an appropriate Named Range, e.e.g. a Named Range on a different sheet, a non-existent named range, named formulas, formulas, use of sheet name qualifiers (even for the same sheet). Tests are, of course, added for all of those and for the original issue. The code in setSelectedCells is tested in a very large number of cases in the test suite, none of which showed any problems after this change.
* Scrutinizer
2 minor (non-fatal) corrections, including 1 where Phpstan and Scrutinizer have a different idea about return values from preg_replace.
See issues #1432 and #2149. Data validations on an Xlsx worksheet can be specified in two manners - one (henceforth "internal") if a list is specified from the same sheet, and a different one (henceforth "external") if a list is specified from a different sheet. Xlsx worksheet reader formerly processed only the internal format; PR #2150 fixed this so that both would be processed correctly on read. However, Xlsx worksheet writer outputs data validators only in the internal format, and that does not work for external data validations; it appears, however, that internal data validations can be specified in external format.
This PR changes Xlsx worksheet writer to use only the external format. Somewhat surprisingly, this must come after most of the other XML tags that constitute a worksheet. It shares this characteristic (and XML tag) with conditional formatting. The new test case DataValidator2Test includes a worksheet which has both internal and external data validation, as well as conditional formatting.
There is some additional namespacing work supporting Data Validations that needs to happen on Xlsx reader. Since that is substantially unchanged with this PR, that work will happen in a future namespacing phase, probably phase 2. However, there are some non-namespace-related changes to Xlsx reader in this PR:
- Cell DataValidation adds support for a new property sqref, which is initialized through Xlsx reader using a setSqref method. If not initialized at write time, the code will work as it did before the introduction of this property. In particular, before this change, data validation applied to an entire column (as in the sample spreadsheet) would be applied only through the last populated row. In addition, this also allows a user to extend a Data Validation over a range of cells rather than just a single cell; the new method is added to the documentation.
- The topLeft property had formerly been used only for worksheets which use "freeze panes". However, as luck would have it, the sample dataset provided to demonstrate the Data Validations problem uses topLeft without freeze panes, slightly affecting the view when the spreadsheet is initially opened; PhpSpreadsheet will now do so as well.
It is worth noting issue #2262, which documents a problem with the hasValidValue method involving the calculation engine. That problem existed before this PR, and I do not yet have a handle on how it might be fixed.
* Fraction Formatting
See issue #2253. User's analysis was correct - leading zeros in the decimal portion were being stripped out, so 0.0625 and 0.625 were being treated the same. As it turns out, integers also aren't handled well (`0 0/1` anyone?). The latter problem had been hidden because caller tested for integer first and skipped call if true; but FractionFormatter::format is public and should work correctly regardless. All Phpstan baseline entries for FractionFormatter and NumberFormatter are eliminated. New test data is added; no need for changes to test code.
* Scrutinizer
Ensure result is string.
See issue #2239. Problem is dealt with at the source, by making sure that Reader Xls checks for use of 'GENERAL' rather than 'General'. There doesn't seem to be a reason to test in other places, or to test for other casing variants.
* Html Reader Comments
See issue #2234. Html Reader processes Comment as comment, then processes it as part of cell contents. Change to only do the first. Comment Test checks that comment read by Html Reader is okay, but neglects to check the value of the cell to which the comment is attached. Added that check.
* Disconnect Worksheets
... at end of test.
* Csv Handling of Booleans (and an 8.1 Deprecation)
PhpSpreadsheet writes boolean values to a Csv as null-string/1, and treats input values of 'true' and 'false' as if they were strings. On the other hand, Excel writes boolean values to a Csv as TRUE/FALSE, and case-insensitively treats a matching string as boolean on read. This PR changes PhpSpreadsheet to match Excel.
A side-effect of this change is that it fixes behavior incorrectly reported as a bug in PR #2048. That issue was closed, correctly, as user error. The user had altered Csv Writer, including adding ```declare(strict_types=1);```; that declaration was the cause of the error. The "offending" statements, calls to strpbrk and str_replace, will now work correctly whether or not strict_types is in use.
And, just as I was getting ready to push this, the dailies for PHP 8.1 introduced a change deprecating auto_detect_line_endings. Csv Reader uses that setting; it allows it to process a Csv with Mac line endings, which happens to be something that Excel can do. As they say in https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecations_php_8_1, where the proposal passed without a single dissenting vote, "These newlines were used by “Classic” Mac OS, a system which has been discontinued in 2001, nearly two decades ago. Interoperability with such systems is no longer relevant." I tend to agree, but I don't know that we're ready to pull the plug yet. I don't see an easy way to emulate that functionality. For now, I have silenced the deprecation notices with at signs. I have also added a test case which will fail when support for that setting is pulled; this will give time to consider alternatives.
* Scrutinizer: Handling ini_set
This could be interesting. It doesn't like not handling an error condition for ini_set. Let's see if this satisfies it.
* New Looming Problems with PHP8.1
More deprecations. The following corrections are made in this PR:
- Calculation.php has a call to ctype_upper and apparently one of the samples manages to pass it an int. That function treats int differently from numeric strings, and that treatment is on the deprecation list. Enclosing the argument in quotes cannot cause a problem unless the int represents the ASCII value of an uppercase letter, which I cannot believe is the case; anyhow, if it is, the code will wind up with a nonsense result, e.g. if column is C and row is 1, the cell will be resolved as C1, but if column is int 67 (ASCII for C) and row is 1, the cell will be resolved as 671, not C1.
- Several Worksheet iterators need one or more functions to explicitly declare their return types. Thankfully, this does not seem to break earlier PHP versions.
- LocaleFloatsTest - see issue #1863. This was supposed to fail in PHP 8.0, but var_dump continued to support the old way (for 64-bit PHP only, not for 32-bit). PHP 8.1 appears to correct that omission, and the test will now fail. It doesn't show up as a failure in Github because of an accident - the attempt to set the locale to France in Github fails, so it skips the test before attempting the var_dump. But it does fail locally on my system. I have changed the test to use sprintf rather than var_dump; I think users are far more likely to use sprintf rather than var_dump in their applications. (They are, of course, even more likely to just cast to string, but the result of doing that is already different in 8.0 than in 7.4.) I would be equally happy to delete the test altogether.
There remain PHP 8.1 problems with Mpdf which are, of course, out of scope here.
There is one additional problem that I do not address in this ticket. The auto_detect_line_endings setting is being deprecated. This has some implications for Csv. I have another PR ready for Csv, and will discuss that problem there.
* Minor Scrutinizer Error
Hopefully fixed now.
* Tweaks to Input File Validation
This started as a response to issue #1718, for which it is a partial (not complete) solution. The following changes are made:
- canRead can currently throw an exception. This seems wrong. It should just return true/false.
- Breaking change of sorts. When AssertFile encounters a non-existent or unreadable file, it throws InvalidArgumentException. This does not make sense. I have changed it to throw PhpSpreadsheet/Reader/Exception.
- Since the previous bullet item required changing of most of the Reader files anyhow, this is a good time to add explicit typing for canRead in the function signature rather than the DocBlock. Since all the canRead functions inherit from an abstract version in IReader, they all have to be changed simulatneously. Except for Xlsx and Ods, most of the Reader files are otherwise unchanged.
- AssertFile is changed to add an optional "zip member" parameter. It will check for the existence of an appropriate member in what is supposed to be a zip file. It is used by Xlsx and Ods.
- Verifying that a given file is a valid zip ought to be a feature of ZipArchive. Thanks to a particularly nasty bug in php/libzip (see https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=81222), it is unsafe to attempt to open a zero-length file as a zip archive. There is a solution, but it does not apply to all the PHP releases which we support, and isn't even necessarily supported on all the point versions of the PHP versions which we do support. I have coded up a manual test for "valid zip", with a comment pointing to the spec.
- In theory, tests now cover 100% of the code in Shared/File. In practice ... One of the tests require that chmod works properly, which is not quite true on Windows systems, so that test is skipped on Windows. Another test requires that php.ini uses a non-default value for upload_temp_dir (can't be overridden in application code), which is probably not the case when Github runs the unit tests, so that test is skipped when appropriate. I have run tests for both on systems where they are not skipped.
* Update File.php
* Scrutinizer Timeout
It's not actually timing out, it's just waiting for something to finish that finished ages ago. Making a meaningless comment change in hopes that will clear the jam. Not particularly hopeful.
* Initial adjustments to Xlsx Reader for two possible locations for AutoFiter information, either on the sheet itself for older files, or in the tables/tableX file for more recent files
* Refactor AutoFilter Reader logic into separate methods; preparatory work toward the eventual goal of moving it into its own dedicated AutoFilterTables class
* Basic unit tests to verify that the Xlsx Reader can read both the older and Office365 variants of the files used to store AutoFilter structure
* Xls Reader Handle MACCENTRALEUROPE With or Without Hyphen
Fixes issue #549 and https://github.com/Maatwebsite/Laravel-Excel/issues/989 (which is the source of the new test file). Some systems accept MACCENTRALEUROPE as the name for the appropriate encoding, and some accept MAC-CENTRALEUROPE. I fortunately have access to at least one of each type, and have run the tests on each.
CodePage.php has an array of translations from codepage number to string. I now allow the value to itself be an array; if so, the code will test each in turn to see if it can be used in iconv. I did not go fishing for other similar problems. If such show up, they can be dealt with in the same manner as this one. I don't really expect others, since this is a problem not merely for Xls, but, even then, it applies only to BIFF5 and earlier.
I also moved XlsTest from Reader to Reader/Xls.
* Cache Successful Result For Future Use
Per suggestion from @MarkBaker
This is a leftover Scrutinizer change, but it needed more attention than most others. Chart/Title DocBlocks define caption as `null|string`. However, in the wild, Excel usually presents the caption as an array, and not an array of strings but rather of RichText items. I am not sure why an array is needed since a RichText item can contain many text runs, but things are what they are.
Reader/Xlsx/ChartTitleTest reads a spreadsheet with the captions stored as a RichText array. Since it performs array operations on something the DocBlock says cannot be an array, Scrutinizer objects, although not seriously enough to fail the module. Phpstan also objects; its objection is silenced with an annotation. Aside from this test, there are other tests which do set the caption to a string, and Excel seems to handle that without a problem. So, I have changed the DocBlock to specify `array|RichText|String`. I have dropped null as a possibility; nullstring will do equally well.
Because getCaption can now return multiple datatypes, I think a new function which can return the text portion of the entire caption as a single string is needed. I have added it. This simplifies the test named above, and some code in Writer/Html. The latter is not part of unit testing because the version of JpGraph found in Composer is too antiquated. I verified the Html change manually by running samples/Chart/32_Chart_read_write_HTML.php using a recent version of JpGraph. It was as a result of this test that I uncovered issue #2203. I did not see anything about Charts in docs, so did not add a description of the new function there.
Phpstan is happy with the changes. We'll see how Scrutinizer feels when I push it.
