chillerlan/php-qrcode
A PHP7.2+ QR Code library based on the implementation by Kazuhiko Arase, namespaced, cleaned up, improved and other stuff.
Documentation
Requirements
- PHP 7.2+
ext-mbstring
- optional:
ext-json
,ext-gd
ext-imagick
with ImageMagick installedsetasign/fpdf
for the PDF output module
Installation
requires composer
via terminal: composer require chillerlan/php-qrcode
composer.json (note: replace dev-master
with a version boundary, e.g. ^3.2
)
{
"require": {
"php": "^7.2",
"chillerlan/php-qrcode": "^3.4"
}
}
Usage
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!
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 modules.
$matrix = $qrcode->getMatrix($data);
foreach($matrix->matrix() as $y => $row){
foreach($row as $x => $module){
// get a module's value
$value = $module;
$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 this folder for some more usage examples.
Custom module values
Previous versions of QRCode
held only boolean matrix values that only allowed to determine whether a module was dark or not. Now 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.
The dark value is the module (light) value 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 => '#',
// ...
];
Custom QROutputInterface
Instead of bloating your code you can simply create your own output interface by extending QROutputAbstract
. Have a look at the built-in output modules.
class MyCustomOutput extends QROutputAbstract{
// inherited from QROutputAbstract
protected $matrix; // QRMatrix
protected $moduleCount; // modules QRMatrix::size()
protected $options; // MyCustomOptions or QROptions
protected $scale; // scale factor from options
protected $length; // length of the matrix ($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;
}
}
In case you need additional settings for your output module, just extend QROptions
...
class MyCustomOptions extends QROptions{
protected $myParam = 'defaultValue';
// ...
}
...or use the SettingsContainerInterface
, which is the more flexible approach.
trait MyCustomOptionsTrait{
protected $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();

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 setting the mask pattern manually (which may result in unreadable QR Codes).
Oh hey and don't forget to sanitize any user input!
