Fix usage of non empty $escape in PHP 8.4 #531

Closed

Using a non empty string for $escape to is deprecated in PHP 8.4, see php/php-src#15365

As far as I understand, using \\ for $enclosure and `` for $escape will result in the same, according to https://www.php.net/manual/fr/function.fgetcsv.php

@cedric-anne thanks for the submission but I think it is unfortunate that this RFC seems to have passed. As there is no clear workaround or patches for that. The fix you are proposing CAN/SHOULD be considered as a BC breaking change for the whole package. But also for anyone using the csv related functions/methods of PHP. To put it bluntly, the only way to avoid triggering the deprecation warning one will have be to explicitly set the escape parameter to the empty string basically which is NOT the default in PHP 🤷🏾

Changing the default escape sequence register in my book as being a BC break.

This is one of the rare occurence IMHO were a hard BC between PHP8 -> PHP9 would have been better because there is no clear sensible way of fixing that.

@cedric-anne the enclosure parameter is unaffected by the deprecation warning so I do not think it should be changed at all.
The PR you are referring to is related to str_getcsv which is never used in the package.

This is a BC break.

Remove the change to the enclosure property. For the escape property I am on the fence about changing a default parameter as this introduce a BC break.
