ℹ️ This is an updated version of [gtfs-realtime-php By @sebastianknopf](https://github.com/sebastianknopf/gtfs-realtime-php) and [gtfs-realtime-proto3 By @brians-code](https://github.com/brians-code/gtfs-realtime-proto3).

GTFS Realtime PHP
=================

[](#gtfs-realtime-php)

Simple wrapper for GTFS-Realtime in PHP based on Google's [Protocol Buffers](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf-php).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The library is kept simple to use for creating and parsing GTFS-Realtime feeds in PHP applications. See the simple examples for [creating](/examples/create_message.php) and [parsing](/examples/parse_message.php) a feed message.

### Composer Installation

[](#composer-installation)

In your application project root run

```
composer require lowa/gtfs-realtime-php

```

to install the package and all dependencies. This command will load all packages and update your autoloader to use the package.

Include `[MainDirectory]/vendor/autoload.php` in the head section of your application code to use all required classes in simple way.

### Explaination

[](#explaination)

This is a simple wrapper for GTFS-Realtime in PHP modified to be compatible with Google library. The gtfs-realtime.proto was edited to match with proto3 definitions.

- Step 1: Remove all 'optional' labels since all fields are optional
- Step 2: Remove all 'required' labels since all fields are optional
- Step 3: Remove all 'extensions' ranges, see
- Step 4: Remove all explicit default values, see
- Step 5: Set first value in all enums to PROTO3\_DEFAULT\_\[VARNAME\] = 0 to supply implicit default value, see

Then, using [protobuf](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf) you can generate all the files of this repo.

License
-------

[](#license)

The library package is licensed under "The Unlicense" - For the simple reason that there's nothing in this code at all, which you could not create for yourself using Google's protoc-Compiler and the corresponding definition file for GTFS-Realtime.
