Orbit ID for PHP
================

[](#orbit-id-for-php)

Pure-PHP implementation of Orbit ID. It requires PHP 8.1 or later and has no runtime Composer dependencies: IDs and timestamps are represented as canonical decimal strings (v2: unsigned 128-bit; v1: unsigned 64-bit), so the full range works without GMP or BCMath.

- **v2** (`OrbitId\` / `OrbitId\V2\` alias): Stable 128-bit wire format
- **v1** (`OrbitId\V1\`): stable 64-bit wire format

Consumer migration: [1.x → 2.0.0](../../docs/en/migration-1x-to-2.0.0.md). Registry `2.0.0` cut is slice J of the [promotion plan](../../docs/en/v2-package-2.0.0.md).

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require orbit-id/php
```

Publishing uses a [`orbit-id/php`](https://github.com/orbit-id/php) mirror of this directory for Packagist — see [Packagist publishing](../../docs/en/packagist.md)and [Cross-registry versioning](../../docs/en/cross-registry-versioning.md).

API
---

[](#api)

```
use OrbitId\OrbitGenerator;
use OrbitId\V1\OrbitGenerator as OrbitGeneratorV1;
use function OrbitId\parse;

// v2 (default)
$generator = new OrbitGenerator(['node' => 7]);
$id = $generator->generate(1); // canonical unsigned decimal string
$fields = parse($id);

// v1
$v1 = new OrbitGeneratorV1(['node' => 7]);
$v1Id = $v1->generate(1);
$v1Fields = \OrbitId\V1\OrbitId::parse($v1Id);
```

The `OrbitId` namespace exports `encode`, `decode`, `parse`, `getFormatVersion`, `getTimestamp`, `getType`, `getNode`, `getSequence`, `getRegion`, `getTenant`, `getReserved`, `isValid`, `toDecimalString`, `fromDecimalString`, `toHexString`, `toUnixTimeMs`, and `fromUnixTimeMs`. The same helpers are also available as static methods on `OrbitId\OrbitId`. Class aliases under `OrbitId\V2\` resolve to the root types (function aliases are not provided).

`OrbitGenerator` accepts `node`, optional `region` / `tenant`, optional `clock`, optional `clockRollbackToleranceMs`, `onSequenceExhausted` (`wait` or `fail`), and an optional `confirmOwnership` callback. `generate(0)` is rejected because type zero is reserved. Issued IDs use `FormatVersion = 1` and `Reserved = 0`. Errors are `OrbitId\OrbitError`; inspect its public `$orbitCode` for the stable cross-language error code (including `INVALID_FORMAT_VERSION` / `INVALID_REGION` / `INVALID_TENANT` / `INVALID_RESERVED`).

`isValid` checks structural validity only. It does not prove that an ID was issued by an Orbit generator.

Test
----

[](#test)

```
composer install
composer test
```

The PHPUnit suite consumes the shared fixtures in [`spec/conformance/`](../../spec/conformance/).
