PHP EMV
=======

[](#php-emv)

A collection of EMV tools and utilities for PHP 5.3+

**This is a fork of Massimo Lombardo's [project](https://github.com/unwiredbrain/php-emv)**

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The recommended way to install PHP EMV is through [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
{
    "require": {
        "billpocket/php-emv": "@stable"
    }
}
```

```

-----------

[](#basic-usage)

For parse from string (codec by HEX):

```
{
    use \EMV\Codec;

    $codecObj = new Codec();

    $codecObj->unserialize($hexTLV); //this returns an array

}
```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

PHP EMV comes with a full-fledged test suite. To run it, install [PHPUnit](http://phpunit.de/) via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
$ composer install --dev
$ php vendor/bin/phpunit
```

Contributing
------------

[](#contributing)

Here are a few basic rules so that nobody gets grumpy:

- every pull request MUST follow the [basic coding standars](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-1), the [coding style guide](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-2) and, where applicable, the [improved autoloding](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-4) recommendations by the [PHP-FIG](http://www.php-fig.org/).
- the unit tests MUST be written or updated
- the test suite MUST succeed entirely
- the documentation MUST be written or updated
- commit messages MUST [make sense](http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html)
- the pull request branch MUST be [rebased](http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Branching-Rebasing) against the latest `master` branch
- useless commits MUST be [squashed](http://gitready.com/advanced/2009/02/10/squashing-commits-with-rebase.html)
