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" ``` ### Testing [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` ### Changelog [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information what has changed recently.
