Duplicate field names in the heading. #13

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
First off, I'm not sure if this a problem with parseCSV - or if I have csv 
files that are violating the standard.

Basically, the problem is having columns with the same name.

For example:

"id","name","column_A","numbers","column_A"
0,"test","abcd",12,""
0,"hello","defg",14,""

Etc...

The last column (column_A) has the same name as the third. When I try and auto 
parse a file like this, the last column gets ignored.
In addition, when it parses this file, it looks like there is only 4 columns - 
when there is actually 5.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a CSV file that has multiple columns with the exact same name in the 
heading.
2. Have parseCSV try to auto parse the file.
3. print_r($csv->data) the result and notice that the fields with duplicate 
names are missing / have been ignored.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
This issue exists with both v0.4.3 beta and the stable v0.3.2.
