An M3u8 parser / dumper.

Now it fully supports for [RFC 8216](docs/supported-tags.md), and it can support for non standard M3U(8) with little effort.

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

[](#installation)

Use composer to require it:

```
composer require 'chrisyue/php-m3u8:^4' # PHP 7.4 or PHP 8.*
composer require 'chrisyue/php-m3u8:^3' # PHP 5.6 or PHP 7.{0,1,2,3}
```

Quickstart
----------

[](#quickstart)

Setup the demo project and install PHP M3U8 with it:

```
mkdir demo
cd demo
composer require 'chrisyue/php-m3u8:^4'
```

Copy the demo script file to the project root:

```
cp vendor/chrisyue/php-m3u8/demo/demo.php .
```

And run:

```
php demo.php
```

You could check the [demo file](demo/demo.php) out to find out how to use.

As a "Facade" hides too much details, if you take a look of those facade classes, you'll notice that the real parser/dumper will take a "tag definitions" and a "parsing/dumping rules" as it's dependencies. "definitions" and "rules" are actually "configuration". All these "configuration"s are written in PHP. You may want to modify those configuration files to meet your needs. For more information, see

- [How to Define A Tag](docs/how-to-define-a-tag.md)
- [How to Make A Parsing/Dumping Rule](docs/how-to-make-a-parsing-dumping-rule.md)
