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.
* Xlsx Reader Better Namespace Handling Phase 1 Try2
This is a replacement for #2088, which has run into merge conflicts. I will close that PR in the near future, however the comments in that PR may prove useful for this one. While that PR has been in draft status all along, I am marking this one as ready. I will gladly add additional tests (and, of course, make code changes) that anyone has to suggest, but, with my most recent test files which I will describe in a separate comment, I have no further ideas on useful additions.
As mentioned in the earlier ticket, this is a risky change. But, as has been demonstrated, delaying it comes with its own set of risks. It would be helpful to have a temporary moratorium on changes to Reader/Xlsx until this change is merged.
The original commit message follows.
There have been a number of issues concerning the handling of legitimate but unexpected namespace prefixes in Xlsx spreadsheets created by software other than Excel and PhpSpreadsheet/PhpExcel.I have studied them, but, till now, have not had a good idea on how to act on them. A recent comment https://github.com/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet/issues/860#issuecomment-824926224 in issue #860 by @IMSoP has triggered an idea about how to proceed.
Gnumeric Reader was recently changed to handle namespaces better. Using that as a model, this PR begins the process of doing the same for Xlsx. Xlsx is much larger and more complicated than Gnumeric, hence the need to tackle it in multiple phases. I believe that this PR handles all of:
- listWorkSheetNames
- listWorkSheetInfo. Note that there was a bug in this function which would cause it to count only used columns rather than all columns. That bug is corrected.
- active sheet
- selected cell and top left cell
- cell content (formulas, numbers, text)
- hyperlinks
- comments (partial - see below)
This PR does not address:
- styles
- images and charts
- VBA and ribbons
- many other items, I'm sure
The issue for non-standard namespacing till now has been the use of unexpected prefixes. While I was working on this change, @Lambik introduced issue #2067 PR #2068 which introduced a completely different problem - the use of unexpected URLs. That PR and the issue associated with it were quite well documented, including the supplying of a test file and tests for it. I asked if I could take a look to see if it could be integrated with my change, and the result seems to be yes, so those changes are also part of this PR.
While adding a comment to my test file, I discovered that Microsoft had added "threaded comments" as a new feature. I believe these are not yet supported by PhpSpreadsheet, and I am not going to add it, at least not now. I believe that, among other things, this will make identifying the author of a comment more difficult.
Although there are a number of Phpstan baseline changes as part of this PR, I did not attempt to resolve all Phpstan reports for Reader/Xlsx. Nor did I do anything to increase coverage. This change is already large and complex enough without those efforts.
Per suggestion from @MarkBaker.
WildcardMatch did not handle double tilde correctly. It has been changed to do so and its logic simplified (and commented).
Existing AutoFilter test covered this situation, but I added a test for MATCH as well.
Most of the remaining 32-bit-unsafe date handling that remains in PhpSpreadsheet is in AutoFilter. Cleaning this up demonstrated that there are a lot of problems with AutoFilter, and I will do it in two pieces. Part 1 was PR #2141 which I have just merged.
In this PR:
- Fix remaining 32-bit dates in filterTestInDateGroupSet.
- Also in some of the existing AutoFilter samples. Note that the comments in two of those said the filter was being set for the first day of each month, but the code specifies the last day - I have corrected the comments.
- Remove mocking in unit tests for AutoFilter in favor of 'real' tests.
- Code coverage is now 100% in all of AutoFilter, AutoFilter/Column, and AutoFilter/Common/Rule.
- No remaining AutoFilter(/Column(/Rule)) exceptions in Phpstan baseline.
- Documentation for escaping of asterisk, question mark, and tilde in text filters included spurious backslashes which are now removed.
- Text filter escaping of question mark did not work. There had been no unit tests for any text filtering.
- Likewise there had been no testing for TopTen.
- Above- and below- average filters were not working because they acquired their Calculation instance incorrectly. There had been no tests.
- Several unchanging private static arrays in Rule were changed to private const arrays.
- Clones are now tested.
- RuleTest is moved to same directory as other tests.
PR #2088 is having major merge problems. This is partly because it moves some tests from Reader to Reader/Xlsx. Making this move beforehand may help. Or it may make things worse, but they are already bad enough that I am contemplating redoing the PR. If I do that, having this done beforehand will make things easier.
This PR does nothing but move some tests. This will make it easier to test changes to Xlsx Reader without having to run each test individually, or without having to run tests for all the other readers at the same time.
* PHP8.1 Deprecation Passing Null to String Function
For each of the files in this PR, one or more statements can pass a null to string functions like strlower. This is deprecated in PHP8.1, and, when deprecated messages are enabled, causes many tests to error out. In every case, use coercion to pass null string rather than null.
* TextData - Minor Changes, Test Coverage
Per agreement on a previous push, I looked into standardizing the initialization of the TextData functions (like Engineering and MathTrig), with particular regard for avoiding multiple later null coercions. This simplifies the code quite a bit. This PR also increases coverage to 100% for all TextData modules. All entries in Phpstan baseline for non-deprecated TEXTDATA functions are removed. There were some minor bugfixes.
Whereas Excel (and Gnumeric) treat booleans when supplied as strings as 'TRUE' or 'FALSE', ODS treats them as '1' or '0'. Unlike Excel, ODS generally does not allow bool for int arguments; it does, however, allow them for FIND and SEARCH. ODS allows boolean for into for SUBSTITUTE even though Excel doesn't. ODS allows bool for string for NUMBERVALUE and VALUE even though Excel doesn't. ODS accepts 0 as an argument for CHAR; Excel doesn't. Most of this seems like random decisions on the part of the developers; I've done my best to follow the products in each case. There is a new test member devoted to ODS tests.
Gnumeric has an anomaly vis-a-vis the others - if length is supplied to LEFT/MID/RIGHT as null, Gnumeric treats it as 0 rather than 1.
All tests now take place in the context of a spreadsheet ...
Except for RETURNSTRING, which is not the implementation of an Excel function, and is referred to in the rest of PhpSpreadsheet only in the unit tests for itself. It should probably be deprecated, but that is not part of this PR, just in case there is some reason for it that I couldn't discern.
I have tried to make the first line of each doc block identify the Excel function name rather than its name in PhpSpreadsheet. I think it makes things more comprehensible.
Some tests call Settings::setLocale, but there was no Settings::getLocale. At the end of the tests which do it, they invoke setLocale('EN-US'), which, in a practical sense, is sufficient. However, in theory it would be better for them to get the current locale before changing it, then changing it back to the original when the time came. I have added getLocale and made the appropriate testing change.
The CHAR function took an interesting turn. One can set the value of a cell to, say, CHAR(2), the ASCII/UTF-8 representation of a control character, which is not legal in certain contexts. The only Reader/Writer that could handle this without problems is Xls, which deals with binary data all the time. However, if you tried to write it to Xlsx, Excel would not be able to open the resulting file because of what it considers an illegal character. I changed the Xlsx writer to escape such characters when writing the value of a string function. I did not make any other changes to the Xlsx writer - it seems to me that setting a cell to CHAR(2) is legitimate, but setting it to say `"\x02"` seems less likely to be legitimate, so the latter will still fail (although `="\x02"` should work). The Xlsx reader already supports the escape mechanism that I added to the writer.
CHAR control character and Ods - not supported by either Reader or Writer. I did not attempt to add this now. There is lots still missing from ODS, and this item just can't be a high priority amongst all of those.
CHAR control character and Csv - it is supported by reader and writer if the file has a csv extension. However, trying to guess the mime type without an extension - the control character makes mime_get_type guess application/octet-stream, and PhpSpreadsheet therefore thinks that Csv can't read it.
CHAR control character and Html. Actual use of the control character in the file is subject to the same problems as Xml (i.e. Xlsx and Ods). It wasn't terribly difficult to get the Html Writer to change `"\x02"` to "``". I believe that this is technically legal; however, DOMDocument.loadHTML rejects it as an illegal entity, and I am not convinced that it is wrong to do so, so I haven't changed the Html writer.
* Scrutinizer
Correct 3 minor errors.
Allows basic column width conversion when importing from Html that includes UoM... while not overly-sophisticated in converting units to MS Excel's column width units, it should allow import without errors
Also provides a general conversion helper class, and allows column width getters/setters to specify a UoM for easier usage
* Use of passing flags with Readers to identify whether speacial features such as loading charts should be enabled; no need to instantiate a reader and manually enable it before loading any more.
This is in preparation for supporting new "boolean" Reaer/Writer features, such as pivot tables
* Use of passing flags with Writers to identify whether speacial features such as loading charts should be enabled; no need to instantiate a writer and manually enable it before loading any more.
* Update documentation with details of changes to the StringValueBinder
Most of the remaining 32-bit-unsafe date handling that remains in PhpSpreadsheet is in AutoFilter. Cleaning this up demonstrated that there are a lot of problems with AutoFilter, and I will do it in (probably two) pieces.
In this PR:
- Dynamic date processing was really wrong. There were no tests nor samples to exercise this code. (If you need details, you can try running the new sample against old code.) It is completely re-written.
- ThisYear/Month/Week/Quarter had been omitted.
- Rules such as AUTOFILTER_RULETYPE_DYNAMIC_MONTH_2 were almost correct, but showed some off-by-1 errors. I suspect these were timezone-related, and therefore more obvious to those of us far away from Greenwich.
- All Autofilter tests are moved to a single directory.
- The documentation suggested using null with the Dynamic Date setup, but Phpstan did not like that in my new tests/samples. Rather than change the doc block, I changed the documentation to suggest null string.
- I created a new sample to generate sheets using all the dynamic filters.
- I have added some new unit tests for each of the dynamic filters. I would love to be able to add some "time travel" tests because the dynamic nature of the filter makes most of the results change from day to day, which presents significant challenges in writing comprehensive unit tests (the same is true for code coverage). I was not able to find a good way to simulate time within PhpUnit, but the Linux 'faketime' package was extraordinarily easy and helpful in allowing me to confirm some edge cases. I had less satisfactory results with some Windows equivalents, but was still able to run some tests.
- Code coverage increases from below 60% to above 80%.
To be done:
- Some 32-bit unsafe dates remain in filterTestInDateGroupSet.
- Also in some of the existing AutoFilter samples.
- Study existing unit tests for AutoFilter which use mocking to see if they can/should be replaced with 'real' tests.
- Improve code coverage in AutoFilter, AutoFilter/Column, and AutoFilter/Common/Rule.
* Document Properties - Coverage and 32-bit-safe Timestamps
While researching an issue, I noticed that coverage of Document/Properties was poor. Further, the use of int timestamps will eventually lead to problems for 32-bit PHP (see issue #1826).
Coverage Changes:
- Many property types with no special handling are enumerated but not tested. These are removed, but will continue to function as before.
- Existing code theoretically allows property to be set to an object, but there is no means to read or write such a property, and, even if there were, I don't believe Excel supports it. Setting a property to an object will now be changed to a no-op (can throw an exception if preferred).
- Since the Properties object now has no members which are themselves objects, there is no need for a deep clone. The untested __clone method is removed.
- Large switch statements are replaced with associative arrays. Scrutinizer will like that.
- Coverage is now 100%.
<!-- end of coverage changes list -->
Timestamp Changes:
- Timestamps will be stored as int if possible, or float if not. This is, or will soon be, needed for 32-bit systems. Tests have been added for beyond-epoch dates, and run successfully with 32-bit.
- LibreOffice doesn't quite get the Created/Modified properties correct. These are written to the file as a string which includes offset from UTC, but LibreOffice ignores the offset portion when displaying them. Code had been generating these in UTC, but now generates them in default timezone, which should meet user's expectations.
<!-- end of timestamp changes list -->
Other Changes:
- Custom properties added to ODS Writer.
- Samples had not been generating any ODS files. One is now generated.
- Ods uses a single 'keywords' property rather than multiple 'keyword' properties.
- Breaking change - default company is changed to null string from Microsoft Corporation.
- Breaking change of sorts - PropertiesTest incorrectly tested a custom date property against a string, Reader/XlsxTest correctly tested against a timestamp converted to a string. PropertiesTest was defective, and will no longer work as coded; anyone using it as a model will likewise have a problem.
- PHP8.1 has been complaining for weeks about a time zone conversion test. I have now downloaded a version, and changed the code so that it will work in 8.1 as well as prior releases. (It is still likely that the existing code should work in 8.1, but I haven't yet figured out how to file a bug report.) In the course of testing, 3 additional 8.1 problems were reported (all along the lines of "can't pass null to strpos"), and are fixed with null coercion.
- Two Calculation tests failed because of large results on 32-bit system. These are corrected by allowing the functions involved to return float|int rather than int. I suspect that there are other functions with this problem, and will investigate as a follow-up activity.
- See issue #2090. I believe that changes between 17.1 and master will merely cause the problematic spreadsheet to fail in a different way. I believe that enclosing in quotes some variables passed to Document/Properties by Reader/Xlsx will eliminate the problem, but, in the absence of an example file, cannot say for sure.
- Properties tests are now separated out from Reader/XlsxTest and Reader/OdsTest, and now test both Read and Write (via reload).
<!-- end of other changes list -->
Miscellaneous Notes:
- There remains no support for Custom Properties in Xls Reader or Writer.
- We now have default timezones for all of PHP itself, Shared/Date, and Shared/Timezone. That is least one too many. I was unable to disentangle the latter two for this change, but will look into deprecating one or the other in future.
* Phpstan
6 baseline deletions, 2 docblock changes
* Scrutinizer's Turn
3 minor errors that hadn't blocked the request.
See issue #2116. Code for handling end of month (method couponFirstPeriodDate) needed a fix. Fixed it, confirmed it covered the reported issue with no regression problems. Then added some extra similar tests to all the callers of couponFirstPeriodDate, and ...
One new test, in COUPDAYSNC, does not agree with Excel. It also does not agree with LibreOffice. It does, however, agree with Gnumeric, and with my (hardly guaranteed) hand calculation of what the result should be. So, I'm going with it (and have added an appropriate comment to the test data). I'm glad to discuss the matter with anyone more familiar than I with how this is supposed to work - those 360-day years are killers.

This PR came about as I pondered how feasible it was to change the default escape character from backslash to null string, since the latter emulates Excel's own actions. Also, surveying issues relating to CSV, it seems that people are often in a situation where the current defaults aren't optimal for them (e.g. they are in a region where semicolon rather than comma is a better default delimiter). My case and that case can both be handled by methods after a reader is constructed. However, the issues also show that many use `IOFactory::load` rather than `new Csv()`, and the methods to affect the defaults are not available in that case.
Adding a static callback that can be invoked by the constructor addresses all these problems. This can be set as part of the user application's normal initialization, and no special attention needs to be paid to CSV loads thereafter, no matter how they are invoked.
This also makes it feasible to use 'guess' as inputEncoding, by providing a new setFallbackEncoding (default CP1252) method to use if none of the heuristic tests pass. There was already the ability to guess the encoding before `$reader->load()`, but not before `IOFactory::load`.
Almost all typehints in Reader/Csv and Reader/Csv/Delimiter are now part of the function signature rather than in the DocBlock. The exceptions are one method in Delimiter which uses a `resource` parameter, and the `canRead` and `load` methods, which must match the signature in IOFactory. I will look into changing those later.
The Csv Reader tests are moved into their own directory. All Phpstan baseline entries involving Csv Reader are eliminated.
* Gnumeric Better Namespace Handling
There have been a number of issues concerning the handling of legitimate but unexpected namespace prefixes in Xlsx spreadsheets created by software other than Excel and PhpSpreadsheet/PhpExcel.I have studied them, but, till now, have not had a good idea on how to act on them. A recent comment https://github.com/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet/issues/860#issuecomment-824926224 in issue #860 by @IMSoP has triggered an idea about how to proceed.
Although the issues exclusively concern Xlsx format, I am starting out by dealing with Gnumeric. It is simpler and smaller than Xlsx, and, more important, already has a test for an unexpected prefix, since, at some point, it changed its generic prefix from gmr to gnm. I added support and a test for that some time ago, but almost certainly not in the best possible manner. The code as changed for this PR seems simpler and less kludgey, both for that exceptional case as well as for normal handling.
My hope is that this change can be a template for similar Reader changes for Xml, Ods, and, especially, Xlsx.
All grandfathered Phpstan issues with Gnumeric are fixed and eliminated from baseline as part of this change.
* Namespace Handling using XMLReader
Adopt a suggestion from @IMSoP affecting listWorkSheetInfo, which uses XMLReader rather than SimpleXML for its processing.
* Update GnumericLoadTest.php
PR #2024 was pushed last night, causing a Phpstan problem with this member.
* Update Gnumeric.php
Suggestions from Mark Baker - strict equality test, more descriptive variable names.
* Defined names/formulae in ODS are prefixed by $$ when used in a formula; so we need to strip this out to fully convert them to an Excel formula
* Test for ODS Writer for DefinedNames
* First steps in the implementation of AutoFilters for ODS Reader and Writer, starting with reading a basic AutoFilter range (ignoring row visibility, filter types and active filters for the moment).
And also some additional refactoring to extract the DefinedNames Reader into its own dedicated class as a part of overall code improvement... on the principle of "when working on a class, always try to leave the library codebase in a better state than you found it"
* Provide a basic Ods Writer implementation for AutoFilters
* AutoFilter Reader Test
* AutoFilter Writer Test
* Update Change Log
* Completion of refactoring for Excel Lookup and Reference functions
* Fix LookupRef tests checking for cell existence
* Fix a couple of now invalid callable references in the Calculation Engine lookup table
Both methods used to optionally return null if passed a
second argument. This second argument was removed entirely and the
method always returns a RowDimension or ColumnDimension respectively
(possibly creating it if needed).
This make the API more predictable and easier to do static analysis
with tools such as PHPStan.
If you relied on that second parameter, you should instead use the
`Worksheet::getRowDimensions()` or `Worksheet::getColumnDimensions()` and
check for existence yourself before calling the getters.
`Worksheet::getCellByColumnAndRow()` used to optionnaly return null if passed a
second argument. This second argument was removed entirely and the
method always returns a Cell (possibly creating it if needed).
This make the API more predictable and easier to do static analysis
with tools such as PHPStan.
If you relied on that second parameter, you should instead use the
`Worksheet::cellExistsByColumnAndRow()` before calling `getCellByColumnAndRow()`.
* DateTimeExcel - Change Names of funcWhatever to evaluate
Per discussions while MathTrig was being broken up, this would help standardize the code. This PR applies that standardization to the DateTimeExcel family of functions.
The deprecation messages in DateTime.php are changed to match the style used in PR #2005.
All Phpstan grandfathered errors (about 25) in DateTimeExcel are fixed and removed from baseline. A small number (about 5) of phpstan annotations in the source members in that directory are also fixed and eliminated.
* MathTrig - Fix Phpstan Accomodations
This should be the last of my mass changes to MathTrig. All he Phpstan violations found in baseline which are part of MathTrig are now fixed and removed from baseline. There were about 20 of these.
* Extract 3 separate (duplicated) switch statements for mapping colours in conditional formatting rules into a single class
* Replace switch statement with an array map for colour lookup
* Eliminate duplicate colour map entries
* Apply some stricter type checking
* Extract Cell Data Validations
* Extract Error Code mappings
* MathTrig - Change Names of funcWhatever to evaluate
Per discussions while MathTrig was being broken up, this would help standardize the code. That idea was adopted partway through the breakup. This PR applies that standardization to the earlier efforts. A similar effort is required for DateTime; that will come later. This PR replaces #2006.
The only 2 remaining funcWhatevers in MathTrig are both in SUM, which required two different methods depending on whether or not string parameters were to be ignored. It seems appropriate to leave those method names non-standardized in order to require a decision about which is to be used if they are invoked internally.
3 Phpstan grandfathered errors were eliminated as part of this change, and its baseline has changed accordingly.

* Improved Support for INDIRECT, ROW, and COLUMN Functions
This should address issues #1913 and #1993. INDIRECT had heretofore not supported an optional parameter intended to support addresses in R1C1 format which was introduced with Excel 2010. It also had not supported the use of defined names as an argument. This PR is a replacement for #1995, which is currently in draft status and which I will close in a day or two.
The ROW and COLUMN functions also should support defined names. I have added that, and test cases, with the latest push. ROWS and COLUMNS already supported it correctly, but there had been no test cases. Because ROW and COLUMN can return arrays, and PhpSpreadsheet does not support dynamic arrays, I left the existing direct-call tests unchanged to demonstrate those capabilities.
The unit tests for INDIRECT had used mocking, and were sorely lacking (tested only error conditions). They have been replaced with normal, and hopefully adequate, tests. This includes testing globally defined names, as well as locally defined names, both in and out of scope.
The test case in 1913 was too complicated for me to add as a unit test. The main impediments to it are now removed, and its complex situation will, I hope, be corrected with this fix.
INDIRECT can also support a reference of the form Sheetname!localName when localName on its own would be out of scope. That functionality is added. It is also added, in theory, for ROW and COLUMN, however such a construction is rejected by the Calculation engine before passing control to ROW or COLUMN. It might be possible to change the engine to allow this, and I may want to look into that later, but it seems much too risky, and not nearly useful enough, to attempt to address that as part of this change.
Several unusual test cases (leading equals sign, not-quite-as-expected name definition in file, complex indirection involving concatenation and a dropdown list) were suggested by @MarkBaker and are included in this request.
* Use validation classes rather than traits for Statistical functions, and some verification of nullable arguments
* Eliminate more of the issues resolved in phpstan baseline
`Worksheet::getCell()` used to optionnaly return null if passed a
second argument. This second argument was removed entirely and the
method always returns a Cell (possibly creating it if needed).
This make the API more predictable and easier to do static analysis
with tools such as PHPStan.
If you relied on that second parameter, you should instead use the
`Worksheet::cellExists()` before calling `getCell()`.
* Additional unit tests and rationalisation for Financial Functions
* Providing a series of sample files for Financial functions
* Refactor the last of the existing Financial functions
* Some more unit tests with default assignments from null arguments
