README

This is a fork of the ihabunek/pdf417-php library, having the Intervention Image library removed for simplicity. It now relies on the PHP native GD extension only. Unneeded configuration options are also removed: bitmap image types (other than PNG) and colors (other than black on white).

Requirements

Requires the following components:

• PHP >= 5.5
• PHP extensions: bcmath, gd

Installation

Add it to your composer.json file:

composer require radoid/pdf417

require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use Radoid\PDF417\PDF417; use Radoid\PDF417\Renderers\ImageRenderer; use Radoid\PDF417\Renderers\SvgRenderer; // Text to be encoded into the barcode $text = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Curabitur imperdiet sit amet magna faucibus aliquet. Aenean in velit in mauris imperdiet scelerisque. Maecenas a auctor erat.'; // Encode the data, returns a BarcodeData object $pdf417 = new PDF417(); $data = $pdf417->encode($text); // Create a PNG image $renderer = new ImageRenderer(); $image = $renderer->render($data); // Create an SVG image $renderer = new SvgRenderer(); $svg = $renderer->render($data); // Create a data URL $dataURL = $renderer->renderDataUrl($data); // Use custom options $options = [ 'scale' => 3, 'ratio' => 2, 'padding' => 0, ] $renderer = new ImageRenderer($options);
