Documentation

Installation with composer

See the installation guide for more info!

Terminal

composer require chillerlan/php-qrcode

composer.json

{
	"require": {
		"php": "^7.4 || ^8.0",
		"chillerlan/php-qrcode": "dev-main#<commit_hash>"
	}
}

Note: replace dev-main with a version constraint, e.g. ^4.3 - see releases for valid versions.

Quickstart

We want to encode this URI for a mobile authenticator into a QRcode image:

$data = 'otpauth://totp/test?secret=B3JX4VCVJDVNXNZ5&issuer=chillerlan.net';

// quick and simple:
echo '<img src="'.(new QRCode)->render($data).'" alt="QR Code" />';

Wait, what was that? Please again, slower! See Advanced usage in the manual. Also, have a look in the examples folder for some more usage examples.

QR codes are awesome!

Reading QR Codes

Using the built-in QR Code reader is pretty straight-forward:

// it's generally a good idea to wrap the reader in a try/catch block because it WILL throw eventually
try{
	$result = (new QRCode)->readFromFile('path/to/file.png'); // -> DecoderResult

	// you can now use the result instance...
	$content = $result->data;
	$matrix  = $result->getMatrix(); // -> QRMatrix

	// ...or simply cast it to string to get the content:
	$content = (string)$result;
}
catch(Throwable $e){
	// oopsies!
}
