Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

zbar-php is a php package that provides an interface to the zbar bar-code reading library.

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

[](#requirements)

You should have [zbar](http://zbar.sourceforge.net/) and [imagemagick](https://imagemagick.org/) installed.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require tarfin-labs/zbar-php
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Scanning bar-code or qr-code with zbar is simple.

```
$zbar = new \TarfinLabs\ZbarPhp\Zbar($imagePath);
$code = $zbar->scan();
```

Supported file formats: `pdf`, `jpeg`, `jpg`, `svg` and `gif`.

Here is how to get only the type of bar code.

```
$zbar = new \TarfinLabs\ZbarPhp\Zbar($imagePath);
$type = $zbar->type();

echo $type; // "EAN-13"
```

And this is how you get both.

```
$zbar = new \TarfinLabs\ZbarPhp\Zbar($imagePath);
$barCode = $zbar->decode();

echo $barCode->code(); // "1234567890128"
echo $barCode->type(); // "EAN-13"
```
