SRT Parser
==========

[](#srt-parser)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b161d6ac31a832d3ae50356cd11c564c58695140b751eaa5bed145cad94443be/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f62656e6c6970702f7372742d7061727365722e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/benlipp/srt-parser)

A PHP library to parse SRT files.
Built by Ben Lippincott for [LiveTech](http://www.liveteched.com/)

Installation / Requirements
---------------------------

[](#installation--requirements)

Run `composer require "vladwork555/srt-parser"`and let Composer do the work.

PHP 7+ is **REQUIRED**! This isn't amateur hour.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Import the `Parser` class: `use Benlipp\SrtParser\Parser;`

Use it:

```
$parser = new Parser();

$parser->loadFile('/path/to/srtfile.srt');

$captions = $parser->parse();

```

or

```
$parser = new Parser();

$parser->loadString($formatted_caption_input);

$captions = $parser->parse();

```

`parse()` returns an array of captions. Use them like so:

```
foreach($captions as $caption){
    echo "Start Time: " . $caption->startTime;
    echo "End Time: " . $caption->endTime;
    echo "Text: " . $caption->text;
}

```

A caption can be returned as an array instead of an object, if you prefer. The array is `snake_case` for compatibility with Laravel's attributes.

```
foreach($captions as $caption){
    $caption = $caption->toArray();
    echo "Start Time: " . $caption['start_time'];
    echo "End Time: " . $caption['end_time'];
    echo "Text: " . $caption['text'];
}

```

For Laravel usage with a model:

```
$url = "https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ";
$video = new Video($url);
foreach ($captions as $caption) {
    $data = new VideoMetadata($caption->toArray());
    $video->videoMetadata()->save($data);
}

```

You can also chain the `parse()` method:

```
$parser = new Parser();
$captions = $parser->loadFile($srtPath)->parse();

```
