Bug #23501 for OpenOffice-OODoc: cellSpan does not returns cell span anymore

Subject:

cellSpan does not returns cell span anymore

The function cellSpan does not return cell span anymore in version 2.0.28 (and may be in 2.027 since this change was announced in 2.027). The new code even does not contain any "return $someSpan". Moreover, if you will not provide $hspan and/or $vspan, you will get "using undefined value in addition" warning. So, it does not correspond the documentation. Personally I used this function for obtaining the sell span in many of my scripts -- they do not work after upgrade. I would like to suggest to include the old (one-dimensional as in 2.025) function in future distribution and to use other name (may be cellSpans or biCellSpan??) for the new function.

Thanks for your report. The bug is open. cellSpan() will be changed in future distribution in order to return the horizontal span in scalar context (so it should be OK for your existing scripts), and both the horizontal et vertical spans in list context. In the meantime, the simplest way to get an existing cell horizontal span is the following instruction: $span = $cell->att('table:number-columns-spanned');

It's a very good idea. It would be nice if cellSpan($cell,$hspan) will work as the old version, i.e. set the horizontal span only and do not affect vertical.
