TM::MyCSV Change Log
2009-09-02
* sort() accepts SORT_TIME to order a table by a column that contains
textual date and/or time values like "January 1 2009". Use SORT_NUMERIC if
you use Unix timestamps and SORT_DEFAULT or SORT_STRING if you use ISO
dates like I do in this change log.
* Two example scripts added.
2009-09-01
* sort() accepts SORT_LOCALE_STRING. Don't forget to use setlocale() before.
* SORT_NULL fixed. The number 0 and the string "0" should not be handled as
NULL values. Instead of a boolean comparison we use strlen() now.
* SORT_STRING fixed. Values like "2a" and the number 2 have been compared as
numbers. This is an intended PHP behaviour, but should happen with
SORT_REGULAR only.
* add_field() accepts field names with Umlauts and other characters from
0x7F to 0xFF.
* example_products.php added.
2008-06-19
* row_exists() destroyed the data array in PHP 5. The reason is unknown (a
bug in PHP?).
2005-11-21
* add_field() fixed (failed with $afterField = "unknown column").
* Some tiny code beatyfications and speed-ups.
2005-08-07
* There is a new bug in fgetcsv(). All double quotes are stripped from the
beginning and/or end of the values. I added another workaround to solve
this behaviour (improved the "smart" backslashes).
* Fixed a tiny bug in insert(). Auto incrementation of ID "x" returned "y"
but should return a numeric key.
* test.php: Added more test cases.
2005-06-30
* Added third argument to limit(), e.g. limit(3, 9, SEEK_SET) for the old
MySQL behaviour.
2005-05-08
* Full support for remote files added (read-only of course). Works only with
comma separated files by default. Use $t = new MyCSV(); $t->delimiter =
";"; $t->read("http://..."); to read a remote file with another delimiter.
* Changed data_seek(), it's an alias for seek(..., SEEK_SET) now.
2005-04-11
* Changed and improved seek() and limit() a lot. Both use absolute IDs
instead of relative offsets now. WARNING! These changes are incompatible
to previous versions of the class! limit() is NOT compatible to MySQL's
LIMIT any more! Set $whence to SEEK_SET for the old behaviour.
2005-03-19
* insert() and update() return false if $data is not an array.
2004-09-18
* Added an other solution for the deadlock problem in read(). Uses the
blocking flock() again. Triggers a warning if a file is opened twice.
* write() returns false if the filename is empty.
* "9a" == 9 returns true! Now the class uses strcmp() instead.
2004-08-24
* Auto increment feature in insert() is a lot faster now.
* first() and last() rewritten.
* write() is little bit faster now (uses str_replace instead of strtr).
* close() improved.
* PHPDoc comments updated, @requires added.
2004-08-23
* write() fixed, ids may contain the delimiter character now.
* Auto increment feature in insert() slightly improved.
2004-07-31
* first() and last() fixed, return false if the table is empty.
2004-06-08
* prev() fixed.
2004-03-08
* Tiny speed-ups in export and write() (about 30% faster).
2004-02-15
* sort() uses the object method array(&$this, '_cmp') instead of the static
class method array('MyCSV', '_cmp') now.
2004-02-08
* Introduced read(). You may call "new MyCSV()" and "read(tablename)"
instead of "new MyCSV(tablename)" now.
* Locked files (Windows) made read() fail (is_writeable() returned true).
2003-12-28
* limit() added (for each() and fetch_assoc() only!).
* The array in insert(), update(), row_exists() is not expected by ref. any
more. insert(array(...)) was impossible due to this.
2003-11-19
* $insert_id is private. Use insert_id() instead.
2003-11-10
* "Smart" backslashes added. This makes the class compatible to any PHP
version, including >=4.3.2 and 5.x. Critical characters \x00 and \ are
"smart" escaped now.
* Bugfix: close() caused errors if file does not exist.
2003-11-03
* Fixed tiny "Notice" bug in export().
2003-10-29
* sort() allows to use SORT_NULL in combination with any other flag, e.g.
sort("a SORT_NAT SORT_NULL b SORT_NUMERIC SORT_NULL").
2003-10-28
* Bugfix: update() didn't handled numeric field names properly.
* Speeded up insert() and update() a bit.
2003-10-27
* Works in both PHP <=4.3.1 and >=4.3.2 now (fgetcsv() was changed).
* Added parameter MyCSV(..., length), defaults to 10k instead 100k now.
* Bugfix: drop_field("id") was allowed by mistake, returns false now.
2003-10-26
* flock() in MyCSV() doesn't block/kill the web server any more when trying
to lock the file twice. Now it triggers an user warning.
* Added close() but made it private because in general it's not needed.
* Added tablename().
* Improved the file reader a lot. ID column may be anywhere in the file or
may be completely missing. MyCSV() adds missing IDs immediatelly.
* Bugfix: write() improved, IDs may contain double quotes now.
* add_field() returns false if field name contains any special character.
* Renamed property _tablename into filename.
2003-10-20
* Added second parameter to ad_field(..., $afterField).
* Added first() and last().
* Bugfix: delete(0) didn't work, it killed the whole table.
* Bugfix: sort("id ...") works (calls ksort() or krsort() internaly).
* Bugfix: sort("... desc") didn't work because it was case sensitive.
* A bunch of small fixes.
2003-07-16
* Added SORT_NAT (natural sort) to sort().
* SORT_NULL handles "0" as empty too.
2003-06-02
* Added some possible field delimiters (":", "\0" and space).
2003-05-27
* Bugfix: Multiple calls of sort() are working now.
* Bugfix: join() resets the internal array pointer now.
2003-05-16
* Added: ksort()/krsort(). Similar to sort("id ...")/sort("id DESC ...").
* Bugfix: sort() don't mix up the IDs any more (bases on uasort() now).
* Added sorting type SORT_NULL to sort(). This always moves empty elements
to the end of the table.
* Bugfix: Files can be write-protected, then write() triggers a warning.
* Bugfix: rand() can return more than one random IDs now, e.g. rand(5).
2003-04-03
* Improved data security a lot. File locking keeps the file locked until
the script ended. No file sharing problems possible any more.
* Added ids(), min(), max() and rand(). They all return one or more ID
numbers. Fetch the corresponding data rows using $table->data($id).
* Added filesystem functions exists() and is_writeable().
* Added some missing methods and aliases, e.g. count(), fetch_assoc(), ...
* No need to use add_field() any more, initial insert() will handle this.
* Ordered the methods in logical groups: SQL/Array/Filesystem functions.
2003-04-01
* Bugfix: update() uses array_merge now. This allows particular updates.
* Added: id_exists() checks if an ID exists (see array_key_exists()).
* Added: ids() returns all ID numbers (see array_keys()).
* Added: rand() returns a random ID number (see array_rand()).
2003-03-16
* File rows will be separated by "\r\n" now. Compatibility to Windows.
* Added export() which returns the CSV file as a string.
* Bugfix: insert_id() works now.
* A lot of small changes. Works with E_ALL on. Faster too.
2003-01-20
* drop_field() works now.
2002-11-21
* Variable delimiter added, ',' and ';' are supported now.
