Features πŸš€ ---------------------------------- [](#what-is-this-extension-features-) PHP-GLFW aims to be a complete solution containing everything you need to start building graphical applications in PHP. It doesn't just provide **GLFW library bindings**, but also includes **OpenGL bindings** and a set of essential classes and helpers. ### OpenGL [](#opengl) - Full native support for **OpenGL** (4.1+ core), bringing GPU-accelerated rendering to PHP. - Targets OpenGL 4.1, but can be built for newer versions as well. - Support for OpenGL extensions (limited). - Mirrors the C API as closely as possible, with adjustments made where required or otherwise nonsensical. - Supports ~90% of the full standard; see [GLSUPPORT.md](./GLSUPPORT.md) for details. ### GLFW [](#glfw) This extension includes bindings for the powerful **[GLFW](https://www.glfw.org)** library, offering a range of amazing features, such as: - Multiplatform Window creation and handling (MacOS / Windows / Linux) - Support for multiple windows and monitors - Real-time user input handling - **Keyboard and Mouse** event handling - **Joystick** input support - **Gamepad** Support ### Vector Graphics API [](#vector-graphics-api) PHP-GLFW includes a vector graphics API that allows you to draw in a HTML canvas-like manner in PHP. Its uses the same OpenGL context internally allowing you to build complex rendering pipelines utilizing both the vector graphics API and the more low-level OpenGL API.

[Read more about math functions](https://phpgl.net/user-guide/math/math_functions.html) ### PHPGL - Buffers [](#phpgl---buffers) This extension also includes a set of buffer objects that internally hold data in native types. - Can handle large arrays of data - Low memory footprint and very fast - Data is stored internally to be directly uploadable to the GPU 1. [Read more about the buffers](https://phpgl.net/API/Buffer/FloatBuffer.html) ### PHPGL - Textures [](#phpgl---textures) PHP-GLFW supports the loading of images/textures into buffers without requiring an additional extension: - Can load common image formats, like `jpg`, `png`, `tga`, `bmp`, and `gif` *(gd or Imagick is not required)* - Can write images/textures back to disk - Writes data into a `BufferInterface` object, providing full access to the bitmap 1. [Read more about texture loading](https://phpgl.net/API/Texture/Texture2D.html) ### PHPGL - Geometry [](#phpgl---geometry) PHP-GLFW comes with a `.obj` wavefront file loader, allowing you to load and parse `.obj` files. It also provides helpers to generate tangent and bitangent vectors for the loaded geometry. Currently, only triangulated geometry is supported, with no support for quads. - Can parse `.obj` and `.mtl` files - Can generate normal, tangent, and bitangent vectors for the loaded geometry on the fly - Allows extraction of separate meshes and groups from the loaded geometry - Can group vertices by their material - Can reindex extracted meshes to reduce the number of vertices 1. [Read more about geometry loading](https://phpgl.net/API/Geometry/ObjFileParser.html) ### How are the bindings achieved? [](#how-are-the-bindings-achieved) PHP-GLFW parses the OpenGL specs to generate most of the C extension, instead of porting functions manually. Manual adjustments are made where necessary.

[![Classic Pong Game written in PHP](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/medilies/php-pong/main/screened.gif)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/medilies/php-pong/main/screened.gif) Installation ------------ [](#installation) **Please refer to the comprehensive installation guide here: [Installation](https://phpgl.net/getting-started/installation/install-linux.html)** > **PHP Version:** `>= 8.0`While I would love to support older PHP builds, it was just not feasible for this extension. ### MacOS [](#macos) #### Installer [](#installer) You can use a simple installer script to install PHP-GLFW: ``` php -r "copy('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mario-deluna/php-glfw/master/install/macos-installer.php', 'phpglfw-installer.php');" && php phpglfw-installer.php ``` Once you see "Installation finished!", you're ready to go! #### Manual installation [](#manual-installation) For a manual approach, ensure you have installed the `php-dev`, `git`, and `cmake` packages. **They are required!** ``` git clone https://github.com/mario-deluna/php-glfw cd php-glfw sudo phpize && ./configure --enable-glfw sudo make install ``` Don't forget to add `glfw.so` in the `php.ini` file: ``` extension="glfw.so" ``` ### Linux [](#linux) `cmake` is required for the installation. You can skip the first step if it's already installed. Also, make sure that you install the `php-dev` package, for example, `php8.1-dev`. ``` sudo apt install -y cmake git git clone https://github.com/mario-deluna/php-glfw cd php-glfw sudo phpize && ./configure --enable-glfw sudo make install ``` Make sure to add `glfw.so` in the `php.ini` file: ``` extension="glfw.so" ``` ### Stubs (IDE Support) [](#stubs-ide-support) As this is a PHP extension, your editor / IDE does not support auto-completion and doc lookups without some help. We created a composer package you can include as a dev dependency to have full support: ``` composer require --dev phpgl/ide-stubs ``` Credits ------- [](#credits) - [Mario DΓΆring](https://github.com/mario-deluna) - [All Contributors](https://github.com/mario-deluna/php-glfw/contributors) License ------- [](#license) Please see [License File](https://github.com/mario-deluna/php-glfw/blob/master/LICENSE) for more information. ### Health Score 48 β€” FairBetter than 94% of packages Maintenance83 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity31 Limited adoption so far Community15 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity53 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits β€” single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** β€” Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
