README

A library for formatting and fetching citations to pubmed articles from the eFetch API.

Examples

Batch Requests

If you have to perform several lookups, you should queue and batch request them for performance reasons.

require_once('vendor/autoload.php');

use PsychologyTools\PubmedCite\PubmedCite;

$pubmed = new PubmedCite();

$p->queue('11111'); // queue single pmid as string
$p->queue(12345);   // or as an int
$p->queue( ['43234',42234] ); // or either as an array
$p->queue( '344334,22424,444444'); // or as a comma separated string
$p->queue( '424245 X 455534 X 4534343' ); // or any kind of separated string

$citations = $pubmed->fetch_queued();  // returns an array of citation data objects indexed by pmid
var_dump($citations);
