[](#wave-php-)

PHP class for native reading WAV (RIFF-WAVE) metadata and generating SVG-Waveforms. (PCM only)

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

[](#installation)

This class can easily be installed via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
composer require bluemoehre/wave-php
```

Alternatively you may include it the old fashioned way of downloading and adding it via:

```
require 'Wave.php'
```

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

Generate a single SVG:

```
use bluemoehre\Wave;

// load WAV file
$wave = new Wave('fooBar.wav');

// generate SVG and save to file
$wave->generateSvg('output.svg');
```

Generate multiple SVGs:

```
$files = array('foo.wav', 'bar.wav');
$wave = new Wave();

foreach ($files as $file){
  $wave->setFile($file);
  $wave->generateSvg(preg_replace('/\.wav$/', '.svg', $file);
}
```

Methods
-------

[](#methods)

- **generateSvg(** `string` $outputFile \[, `float` $resolution \] **)** : `string`
    Returns the waveform as SVG code. Optionally saves the output to the given filename.
- **getBitsPerSample()** : `integer`
    Returns the bits per sample count
- **getByteRate()** : `integer`
    Returns the audio byte rate
- **getChannels()** : `integer`
    Returns the audio channel count
- **getKiloBitPerSecond()** : `float`
    Returns the data rate of the audio
- **getSampleRate()** : `integer`
    Returns the audio sample rate
- **getTotalSamples()** : `integer`
    Returns the total audio sample count
- **getTotalSeconds(** `boolean` $float **)** : `integer` | `float`
    Returns the audio length in seconds. Rounded by default - optinonally precise

TODO
----

[](#todo)

- add support for hi-res wave files
- find solution for styling waveform via CSS (maybe allow setup of a style path)
- move SVG code to external file (so everyone can modify the code meeting all needs)
- configurable vertical SVG detail
