            return 0;

For the Open Source PHPExcel library (https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPExcel):

• Autodetect separator, enclosure and line endings for CSV Reader

  An autodetect option that will identify the separator (e.g. comma, semicolon, pipe, tab, etc), the enclosure (e.g. quote, double quote), enclosure escape character (e.g. "" or ") and line endings for csv files, and set them up for the CSV reader.

This is a simple reader class for gpx files retrieved from the G-Paws Cat Tracker that allows you to loop over the trackpoints read from that file, returning lat/lon as attributes of a simple stdClass object as the returned "key" from the Reader, and ele/time as attributes of a simple stdClass object as the returned "value"

The Reader class

class gpxReader
