Description: ------------ If you select a single comma as your seperator, and try to print out a value into a field that contains a comma, you gain an extra column. if $conf["sep"] is found in $data, the $data entry is escaped with quotes. Test script: --------------- $conf = array(); $data = array(); $conf["fields"] = 3; $conf["sep"] = ","; $filename = "accounts.csv"; $data[] = "Hi"; $data[] = "Hello"; $data[] = "Hi,world"; File_CSV::write($filename,$data,$conf); Expected result: ---------------- Hi,Hello,"Hi,world" Actual result: -------------- Hi,Hello,Hi,world

IMHO it is a bug rather then request ;-) I'll try to look into this when I have enough time from work.

I've made a fix so that the quotes are only ever added if the string contains a separator, the previous way as a bit silly and added quotes around every single string, even when they didn't require it but what you lacked in your code is: $conf['quote'] = '"'; or what ever sep you'd like, File_CSV defaults to null if no quotes are defined so basically things wouldn't work anyway for you unless you passed that :) I'll close this bug when I commit the fixup

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
