* Validate Post Item in Convert-Online.php
* Correct Samples - Currency, Accounting, and Downloader
* Smarter Color Formatting for Currency
* Use helper->log Rather than echo in Convert-Online
Responding to comment from @PowerKiki about use of echo for error messages. I do not believe that an exception is warranted, but other scripts use helper->log for error messages, and now so will this one.
These are 5 closely related functions for manipulating arrays. Now that dynamic arrays are part of PhpSpreadsheet, this PR implements those previously-unimplemented functions. Documentation undergoes a very minor change, since they are re-categorized as "Lookup and Reference", which is how Excel classifies them, rather than "Math and Trig".
A solution, at least in part, for issue #4280. Xlsx Reader is not handling shared formulae correctly. As a result, some cells are treated as if they contain boolean values rather than formulae.
We do not recommend it, but users can call the Php function `setlocale` and that might affect the character used as currency symbol. A problem arises when the caller to setlocale does not specify a character set - in that case, Php will attempt to return its `localeconv()` values in a single-byte character set rather than UTF-8. This is particularly problematic for currency symbols. PhpSpreadsheet till now has accepted such a character, and that can lead to corrupt spreadsheets. It is changed to validate the currency symbol as UTF-8, and fall back to a different choice if not (e.g. EUR rather than 0x80, which is how the euro symbol is depicted in Win-1252).
An additional problem arises because Linux systems seem to return the alternate symbol with a trailing blank, but Windows systems do not. To allow callers to get a consistent result, a parameter is added to `getCurrencyCode` which will trim or not (default) the currency code.
PhpSpreadsheet will use either SimpleCache1/3 (but not both). Likewise for ZipStream2/3. However, only SimpleCache3/Zipstream3 are used while processing code coverage. Indicate this with appropriate annotations.
No executable code is changed.
After breaking up Xls Reader (PR #4118), it is a little easier to identify uncovered code. BIFF8 had no tests involving constant arrays. This PR adds some. Most of the work is in the tests, but some source code is modernized to use things like null coercion.
