1.3.0 Release

If you have questions or feedback about the information below, feel free to open an issue.

Breaking change:

• Passing file paths as a parameter to parse() or the constructor new Csv() is now deprecated and will be removed in v2.0.0. Use Csv::parseFile() instead.

  WARNING: It will call trigger_error() for now.
  This may still break your application, depending on your PHP config file. You can remove E_USER_DEPRECATED from the error_reporting mask to avoid breaking your application:

  Example:

  error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT & ~E_USER_DEPRECATED

  This change is to avoid security issues: see issue #198.

Non-breaking deprecations:

• The function load_data() is deprecated. Call loadFile() or loadDataString() instead.

• Supplying CSV data strings (file content) to auto() is deprecated. Please use autoDetectionForDataString().

  The motivation is to make subtle gotchas less likely: when the file cannot be found or read by PHP (permissions), its file path would be treated like CSV data.

• Currently, there is code to parse .php: <?...?> tags are removed before the remaining file content is treated like a .csv file. This rarely-used functionality will be removed in v2.0.0. You are only affected if you use ParseCsv to parse .php files.
