Usage

We want to encode this data into a QRcode image:

$data = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLzxrzFCyOs&t=43s';

Quick and simple:

echo '<img src="'.(new QRCode($data, new QRImage))->output().'" />';

Wait, what was that? Please again, slower!

Ok, step by step. You'll need a QRCode instance which needs to be invoked with the data and a Output\QROutputInterface as parameters. The QRCode and QROutputInterface classes can be optionally invoked with a QROptions or a Output\QR*Options Object.

$qrOptions = new QROptions;
$qrOptions->errorCorrectLevel = QRCode::ERROR_CORRECT_LEVEL_L;

// image...
$outputOptions = new QRImageOptions;
$outputOptions->type = QRCode::OUTPUT_IMAGE_GIF;
$outputInterface = new QRImage($outputOptions);

// ...or string
$outputOptions = new QRStringOptions;
$outputOptions->type = QRCode::OUTPUT_STRING_HTML;
$outputInterface = new QRString($outputOptions);

$qrcode = new QRCode($data, $outputInterface, $qrOptions);

Have a look in this folder for some usage examples.

Docs

Here you'll find a list of the possible values for QROptions and Output\QR*Options along with their defaults.

// error correct level: L (7%),  M (15%), Q (25%), H (30%)
QROptions::$errorCorrectLevel = QRCode::ERROR_CORRECT_LEVEL_M;
// type number, null = auto, QRCode::TYPE_01 -> QRCode::TYPE_10
QROptions::$typeNumber        = null; QRCode::TYPE_01;

// output sting type: QRCode::OUTPUT_STRING_TEXT/JSON/HTML
QRStringOptions::$type        = QRCode::OUTPUT_STRING_TEXT;
// string substitutes for dark & light
QRStringOptions::$textDark    = '#';
QRStringOptions::$textLight   = ' ';
// newline string
QRStringOptions::$textNewline = PHP_EOL;

// output image type: QRCode::OUTPUT_IMAGE_PNG/JPG/GIF
QRImageOptions::$type           = QRCode::OUTPUT_IMAGE_PNG;
// return as base64
QRImageOptions::$base64         = true;
// optional cache file path, null returns the image data
QRImageOptions::$cachefile      = null;
// size settings
QRImageOptions::$pixelSize      = 5;
QRImageOptions::$marginSize     = 5;
//color settings
QRImageOptions::$transparent    = true;
QRImageOptions::$fgRed          = 0;
QRImageOptions::$fgGreen        = 0;
QRImageOptions::$fgBlue         = 0;
QRImageOptions::$bgRed          = 255;
QRImageOptions::$bgGreen        = 255;
QRImageOptions::$bgBlue         = 255;
// imagepng()/imagegif() quality settings
QRImageOptions::$pngCompression = -1;
QRImageOptions::$jpegQuality    = 85;
