It can read and edit ShapeFiles and the associated information (DBF file). There are a lot of things that can be improved in the code, if you are interested in developing, helping with the documentation, making translations or offering new ideas please contact us. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Please use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to install: ``` composer require phpmyadmin/shapefile ``` To be able to read and write the associated DBF file you need the `dbase`extension: ``` pecl install dbase echo "extension=dbase.so" > /etc/php8/conf.d/dbase.ini ``` Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) API documentation is available at . Usage ----- [](#usage) To read a shape file: ``` use PhpMyAdmin\ShapeFile\ShapeFile; use PhpMyAdmin\ShapeFile\ShapeType; $shp = new ShapeFile(ShapeType::Null); $shp->loadFromFile('path/file.*'); ``` History ------- [](#history) This library is based on BytesFall ShapeFiles library written by Ovidio (ovidio AT users.sourceforge.net). It has been embedded in phpMyAdmin for years and slowly developed there. At one point people started to use our version rather than the original library and that was when we decided to make it a separate package. ### Health Score 64 — FairBetter than 99% of packages Maintenance77 Regular maintenance activity Popularity51 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community24 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity86 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 57.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
