There have been a number of issues concerning the handling of legitimate but unexpected namespace prefixes in Xlsx spreadsheets created by software other than Excel and PhpSpreadsheet/PhpExcel.I have studied them, but, till now, have not had a good idea on how to act on them. A recent comment https://github.com/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet/issues/860#issuecomment-824926224 in issue #860 by @IMSoP has triggered an idea about how to proceed.
Gnumeric Reader was recently changed to handle namespaces better. Using that as a model, this PR begins the process of doing the same for Xlsx. Xlsx is much larger and more complicated than Gnumeric, hence the need to tackle it in multiple phases. I believe that this PR handles all of:
- listWorkSheetNames
- listWorkSheetInfo. Note that there was a bug in this function which would cause it to count only used columns rather than all columns. That bug is corrected.
- active sheet
- selected cell and top left cell
- cell content (formulas, numbers, text)
- hyperlinks
- comments (partial - see below)
This PR does not address:
- styles
- images and charts
- VBA and ribbons
- many other items, I'm sure
The issue for non-standard namespacing till now has been the use of unexpected prefixes. While I was working on this change, @Lambik introduced issue #2067 PR #2068 which introduced a completely different problem - the use of unexpected URLs. That PR and the issue associated with it were quite well documented, including the supplying of a test file and tests for it. I asked if I could take a look to see if it could be integrated with my change, and the result seems to be yes, so those changes are also part of this PR.
While adding a comment to my test file, I discovered that Microsoft had added "threaded comments" as a new feature. I believe these are not yet supported by PhpSpreadsheet, and I am not going to add it, at least not now. I believe that, among other things, this will make identifying the author of a comment more difficult.
Although there are a number of Phpstan baseline changes as part of this PR, I did not attempt to resolve all Phpstan reports for Reader/Xlsx. Nor did I do anything to increase coverage. This change is already large and complex enough without those efforts.
I will add more detail as comments after I push this change.
