chillerlan/php-qrcode

A PHP 7.4+ QR Code library based on the implementation by Kazuhiko Arase, namespaced, cleaned up, improved and other stuff.

Attention: there is now also a javascript port: chillerlan/js-qrcode.

Requirements

  • PHP 7.4+
    • ext-mbstring
    • optional:

Installation

requires composer

via terminal: composer require chillerlan/php-qrcode

composer.json

{
	"require": {
		"php": "^7.4 || ^8.0",
		"chillerlan/php-qrcode": "v4.3.x-dev"
	}
}

Note: replace v4.3.x-dev with a version constraint, e.g. ^4.3 - see releases for valid versions. For PHP version ...

  • 7.4+ use ^4.3
  • 7.2+ use ^3.4.1 (v3.4.1 also supports PHP8)
  • 7.0+ use ^2.0
  • 5.6+ use ^1.0 (please let PHP 5 die!)

In case you want to keep using v4.3.x-dev, specify the hash of a commit to avoid running into unforseen issues like so: v4.3.x-dev#c115f7bc51d466ccb24c544e88329804aad8c2a0

PSA: PHP 7.0 - 7.3 are EOL and therefore the respective QRCode versions are also no longer supported!

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" />';

QR codes are awesome! QR codes are awesome!

Wait, what was that? Please again, slower!

Advanced usage

Ok, step by step. First you'll need a QRCode instance, which can be optionally invoked with a QROptions (or a SettingsContainerInterface, respectively) object as the only parameter.

$options = new QROptions([
	'version'    => 5,
	'outputType' => QRCode::OUTPUT_MARKUP_SVG,
	'eccLevel'   => QRCode::ECC_L,
]);

// invoke a fresh QRCode instance
$qrcode = new QRCode($options);

// and dump the output
$qrcode->render($data);

// ...with additional cache file
$qrcode->render($data, '/path/to/file.svg');

In case you just want the raw QR code matrix, call QRCode::getMatrix() - this method is also called internally from QRCode::render(). See also Custom output interface.

$matrix = $qrcode->getMatrix($data);

foreach($matrix->matrix() as $y => $row){
	foreach($row as $x => $module){

		// get a module's value
		$value = $module;

		// or via the matrix's getter method
		$value = $matrix->get($x, $y);

		// boolean check a module
		if($matrix->check($x, $y)){ // if($module >> 8 > 0)
			// do stuff, the module is dark
		}
		else{
			// do other stuff, the module is light
		}

	}
}

Have a look in the examples folder for some more usage examples.

Notes

The QR encoder, especially the subroutines for mask pattern testing, can cause high CPU load on increased matrix size. You can avoid a part of this load by choosing a fast output module, like OUTPUT_IMAGE_* and maybe setting the mask pattern manually (which may result in unreadable QR Codes). Oh hey and don't forget to sanitize any user input!

Custom output interface

Instead of bloating your code you can simply create your own output interface by creating a QROutputInterface (i.e. extending QROutputAbstract).

class MyCustomOutput extends QROutputAbstract{

	// inherited from QROutputAbstract
	protected QRMatrix $matrix;   // QRMatrix
	protected int $moduleCount;   // modules QRMatrix::size()
	protected QROptions $options; // MyCustomOptions or QROptions
	protected int $scale;         // scale factor from options
	protected int $length;        // length of the matrix ($moduleCount * $scale)

	// ...check/set default module values (abstract method, called by the constructor)
	protected function setModuleValues():void{
		// $this->moduleValues = ...
	}

	// QROutputInterface::dump()
	public function dump(string $file = null):string{
		$output = '';

		for($row = 0; $row < $this->moduleCount; $row++){
			for($col = 0; $col < $this->moduleCount; $col++){
				$output .= (int)$this->matrix->check($col, $row);
			}
		}

		return $output;
	}

}

For more examples, have a look at the built-in output modules.

In case you need additional settings for your output module, just extend QROptions...

class MyCustomOptions extends QROptions{
	protected string $myParam = 'defaultValue';

	// ...
}

...or use the SettingsContainerInterface, which is the more flexible approach.

trait MyCustomOptionsTrait{
	protected string $myParam = 'defaultValue';

	// ...
}

set the options:

$myOptions = [
	'version'         => 5,
	'eccLevel'        => QRCode::ECC_L,
	'outputType'      => QRCode::OUTPUT_CUSTOM,
	'outputInterface' => MyCustomOutput::class,
	// your custom settings
	'myParam'         => 'whatever value',
 ];

// extends QROptions
$myCustomOptions = new MyCustomOptions($myOptions);

// using the SettingsContainerInterface
$myCustomOptions = new class($myOptions) extends SettingsContainerAbstract{
	use QROptionsTrait, MyCustomOptionsTrait;
};

You can then call QRCode with the custom modules...

(new QRCode($myCustomOptions))->render($data);

...or invoke the QROutputInterface manually.

$qrOutputInterface = new MyCustomOutput($myCustomOptions, (new QRCode($myCustomOptions))->getMatrix($data));

//dump the output, which is equivalent to QRCode::render()
$qrOutputInterface->dump();

Custom module values

You can distinguish between different parts of the matrix, namely the several required patterns from the QR Code specification, and use them in different ways, i.e. to assign different colors for each part of the matrix (see the image example). The dark value is the module value (light) shifted by 8 bits to the left: $value = $M_TYPE << ($bool ? 8 : 0);, where $M_TYPE is one of the QRMatrix::M_* constants. You can check the value for a type explicitly like...

// for true (dark)
($value >> 8) === $M_TYPE;

// for false (light)
$value === $M_TYPE;

...or you can perform a loose check, ignoring the module value

// for true
($value >> 8) > 0;

// for false
($value >> 8) === 0;

See also QRMatrix::set(), QRMatrix::check() and QRMatrix constants.

To map the values and properly render the modules for the given QROutputInterface, it's necessary to overwrite the default values:

$options = new QROptions;

// for HTML, SVG and ImageMagick
$options->moduleValues = [
	// finder
	1536 => '#A71111', // dark (true)
	6    => '#FFBFBF', // light (false)
	// alignment
	2560 => '#A70364',
	10   => '#FFC9C9',
	// timing
	3072 => '#98005D',
	12   => '#FFB8E9',
	// format
	3584 => '#003804',
	14   => '#00FB12',
	// version
	4096 => '#650098',
	16   => '#E0B8FF',
	// data
	1024 => '#4A6000',
	4    => '#ECF9BE',
	// darkmodule
	512  => '#080063',
	// separator
	8    => '#AFBFBF',
	// quietzone
	18   => '#FFFFFF',
];

// for the image output types
$options->moduleValues = [
	512  => [0, 0, 0],
	// ...
];

// for string/text output
$options->moduleValues = [
	512  => '#',
	// ...
];
