Handle csv-data

This library is intended to hold functions which handle data from (and perhaps in some time) to *.csv files.

See the first action using this file:
- ShowCsv
 


The file needs to be placed under the name handlecsvdata.php in the /library folder (see WikkaCodeStructure).

To-do
- look for the difference of excel *.csv and normal csv
- possibility of sorting the entries?
- document!!

<?php
/*
* This library is intended to hold functions which deal with data from and to *.csv files.
*
* version 0.3 (2005/01/31)
*
* It includes the following functions:
*
* function GetCsvData($file, $separator=",") - Reads all data of a *.csv file.
* function StripHtml($data) - strips html from csv-data.
* function PrintCsvTable($data, $header="off", $tableclass="csvtable") - prints out a html table based on csv-data.
*
*/


/**
* Reads all data of a *.csv file.
*
* Based on a given filename every line of a file is read out and put into an array.
* Within this process, everything inside < and > is stripped off.
*
* Based on a given type of separator, every line is exploded and every entry of the line
* put into the second dimension of the array, leading to the following structure:
* array[line][entry]
*
* @package Library
* @subpackage HandleCsvData
*
* @author {@link http://it.php.net/manual/en/function.fgetcsv.php mjwilco at yahoo dot com} (basic code)
* @author {@link http://wikka.jsnx.com/NilsLindenberg Nils Lindenberg} (error-handling and stripping html)
*
* @param ? $file mandatory: name and path of the csv-file
* @param char $separator optional: the separator used for dividing the entries
* standard: ","
*
* @return either a two-dimensional array containing the data of the file, or, in case of an error, FALSE
*
* @todo - excel seem to make different *.csv files?
* - error-handling for $rows = Striphtml
* - detecting if $separator is only one char

/**
* Prints a html-table based on the content of a 2-dimensional array.
*
* Based on a given 2-dimensional array, with the structure [line][line-entry] a html table is printed.
* When the parameter $header is set to on, the entries of the first line will be used as columm-headers.
* Standard of this feature is off.
*
* You can determine the look of the table via css. The parameter $tableclass awaits the name of your css entry.
* To determine the defaults, add a csvtable-class to your style-sheet, like the example below:
* .csvtable  { border =1;}
