Current Status

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/0bbd9beb0b295bfb1876e7169e1dc061de6a9862192e3e02690a4629b367ea74/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6e69656c736536332f7068702d696d6167652d63616368652e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/nielse63/php-image-cache)

Employing [travis-ci.org](http://travis-ci.org) for continuous integration testing and assurance of code validity.

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

[](#installation)

Install [Composer](http://getcomposer.org) by opening Terminal and navigating to the directory in which you'd like to install Image Cache.

Download Composer:

```
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
```

Create a `composer.json` file:

```
	{
		"require" : {
			"nielse63/phpimagecache": "dev-master"
		}
	}
```

Navigate to your project root and run the `install` command.

```
$ php composer.phar install
```

From there, include the `vendor/autoload.php` file in your project, and initialize the class as normal.

More information on installing and using Composer can be found at [getcomposer.org](http://getcomposer.org), and dependency information on the package can be found at [packagist.org](https://packagist.org/packages/nielse63/phpimagecache).

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

### Manual Testing

[](#manual-testing)

To test the script manually by receiving visual output, setup a virtual host and load `demo/index.php` in your browser. Three examples are set in that file: the original image called from an outside source; a cached example referencing the outside source via an absolute URL; and an internal source referencing a file path.

Using Chrome Developer Tools you can see the difference in load times between the external source (non-cached image) and the internally stored and cached image.

### Unit Testing

[](#unit-testing)

Some extremely basic unit tests are included with the script and can be run using [PHP Unit](http://phpunit.de/). I'm working on continuing to build up these tests and would more than welcome any contributions to the tests.

To execute the tests in a bundled script (along with rebuilding the docs), clone the repository, navigate to the root of the repo in terminal, and execute:

```
$: sh build
```

Assuming you have the `phpunit` and `phpdoc` commands intalled, the tests will pass and docs will be rebuilt.

What's Next
-----------

[](#whats-next)

[See the source](https://github.com/nielse63/php-image-cache/blob/master/src/ImageCache/ImageCache.php) for a full to do list of changes that I wish to accomplish moving forward.

Contributing
------------

[](#contributing)

Contributing to the project would be a massive help in maintaining and extending the script. The module is being used on a larger scale than I initially imagined, and continuing to maintain it is becoming a little time consuming for just me.

If you're interested in contributing, [issue a pull request](https://github.com/nielse63/php-image-cache/pulls) on Github or email me directly at [](mailto:erik@312development.com).

For any issues found or extensions you'd like to see, feel free to [submit an issue ticket](https://github.com/nielse63/php-image-cache/issues) so we can start a discussion about the viability of the problem and how it can be resolved.
