Favicon Finder
==============

[](#favicon-finder)

Simple PHP library to work out the favicon for a site, given an URL.

It currently supports finding the default favicon, if it exists on the host (eg `/favicon.ico`) as well as some basic HTML parsing of the homepage to hunt for standard favicon tags. Does not support `apple` type icons or manifests, although it can be extended to do so if necessary (PRs welcome).

This library is based on [Arthur Hoaro's work](https://github.com/ArthurHoaro/favicon).

Here are the changes you can see in this version:

- Only return favicon paths, when found
- PSR-16: Simple Cache support
- More extensive HTML scraping tests
- PHP 7.3+ support

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- [PHP 7.3](http://php.net/)
- [php-xml](http://php.net/manual/fr/refs.xml.php) extension: parse HTML content
- [php-curl](https://www.php.net/manual/en/curl.installation.php)
- [Guzzle](https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle)
- GNU Make (or compatible): This is optional, if you want to contribute and use the Makefile targets available for running tests

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

[](#installation)

```
composer req luispabon/favicon-finder
```

Basic usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

```
require_once('vendor/autoload.php');

$guzzle = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();

// You can use any PSR-16 implementation here - if you have none and don't care
// about caching, simply use the provided dummy cache implementation below
$cache = new \FaviconFinder\DummyCache();

// Cache lifetime in seconds (default is 86400 or 1 day)
$ttl = 60;

$favicon = new \FaviconFinder\Favicon($guzzle, $cache, $ttl);

echo $favicon->get('https://github.com/luispabon/favicon-finder');

// Displays: https://github.com/favicon.ico
var_dump($favicon->get('http://nofavicon.tld'));
// Returns null
```
