          Description

          This is a followup of MDL-36640.

          It seems that the pear lib we use to handle excel files (used widely) has some e_strict problems.

          grep -r add_worksheet * | grep '=&'

          This is about to:

          • understand why/where it happens.
          • look and implement a possible solution.

          Ciao

                The pear excel lib is a very old PHP4 code that is not maintained any more, we should probably switch to something XML based instead in the future...

                I've created MDL-37204 about to look for alternatives.

                Hi, looks good. However, for the survey module in integration master the references were not removed, so there was a strict standards warning in the excel I downloaded.

                Also, for all branches the file 'lib/excel/test.php' was not changed either. I assume this was intentional as this file is not used anywhere afaik.

                new commits added to 24 and master. Also MDL-37253 created about the test.php file (better if we take rid of it).

                So I'm passing this on behalf of Mark... thanks guys!
