PHP Csv Utilities - new version coming soon!

Posted on July 29th, 2008 by Luke Visinoni

It has been months since there was any kind of update on PHP Csv Utilities (or even the blog for that matter). I released the last version (0.2) prematurely, which resulted in a poor release and a lot of bugs. I’d like to let anybody interested in the library know that I am working on version 0.3 right now as well as a much improved build / release process. If there are any bugs or issues you have with the library please leave a comment or shoot me an email and I’ll do my best to make sure it’s addressed.

  1. Hi Luke,

    I very interested in your library, I need CSV support for a project based on Kohana, and I’ve seen that you are preparing to release version 0.3.

    Can you tell me when it is going to be released, so I know if I should wait or simply use the old version. I’ve seen that the documentation is ready so it must be close.

    If you have it ready and need some testing I’ll be happy to report any bugs!

    Thanks.

  2. I am planning on an October 1 release date. It could be sooner, it could be later, but that’s the date I’m shooting for.

    Alright, the October 1 release date is not going to happen unfortunately. My best guess at this point would be some time towards the end of next week. Let’s say October 10th.

  4. Do you have a newsletter? I’d like to sign up for announcements for when you make updates to this.

  5. I don’t have a newsletter, but you can subscribe to my rss feed. I am still working feverishly on version 0.3, but I’ve decided to rewrite my unit tests and documentation because, as a library user, I hate poorly documented libraries, and as a library author, I hate poorly tested libraries.

  6. Sounds good. Looking forward to it!

  7. I’m sorry guys, I’ve unexpectedly become very very busy. I’m working on this when I can, but it still may be a bit.

  8. This would be superb with the csv_mapper function, just what I’m looking for. I’ll sign up to your RSS feed, although I may have to try and write it myself as I’m not sure I can wait! Thanks for the code, great work!

  9. Yes, I am trying to work this back towards the top of my priority list, but it’s been difficult. I have stopped promising dates, since I’ve failed to meet any deadlines I’ve stated previously, but you can actually download version 0.3 via subversion if you’d like to use it. I believe the mapping functionality is working now. Look in the tests folder for examples. I’d love any feedback / bugs you have. Thanks!
