[Phpmyadmin-devel] about "Invalid parameter for CSV import: Fields enclosed by"

[Marc Delisle]

Hi,
we got a few requests about this. Probably the most common generator of 
CSV files is MS Excel, and this fine application, when saving as CSV, 
generates a semi-colon separated file with no possibility of specifying 
the enclosing character (at least in the default dialog, I did not dig 
everywhere).

But phpMyAdmin refuses to import it (see subject). I deactivated the 
message in my copy of PMA then imported some simple sample data

(removing the double quotes in the CSV dialog), it went fine so I am 
tempted to get rid of this validation but would like to hear your comments.
