[](#usage)

### Import library

[](#import-library)

```
// First, import classes from the library as needed...
use Akarah\HPRIM\Message;
use Akarah\HPRIM\Segment;
use Akarah\HPRIM\Segments\H;
use Akarah\HPRIM\Segments\P;
```

### Parsing

[](#parsing)

```
// Create a Message object from a HL7 string
$msg = new Message("MSH|^~\\&|1|\rPID|||abcd|\r"); // Either \n or \r can be used as segment endings
$P = $msg->getSegmentByIndex(1);
echo $pid->getField(3); // prints 'John'
echo $msg->toString(true); // Prints entire HPRIM string

// Get the first segment
$msg->getFirstSegmentInstance('H'); // Returns the first PID segment. Same as $msg->getSegmentsByName('PID')[0];

// Check if a segment is present in the message object
$msg->hasSegment('P'); // return true or false based on whether PID is present in the $msg object

// Check if a message is empty
$msg = new Message();
$msg->isempty(); // Returns true
```

### Creating new messages

[](#creating-new-messages)

```
// Create an empty Message object, and populate H and P segments...
