README

The ISWC class is a PHP class that represents an International Standard Musical Work Code (ISWC). It provides methods to manipulate ISWC codes by parsing, retrieving components, and generating new codes.

Installation

You can include the ISWC class in your project by requiring it through Composer:

composer require bmt/iswc

Usage

Instantiate the ISWC class by providing the necessary parameters: country code, publisher code, and work code. You can then use various methods to interact with the ISWC object.

Creating an ISWC Object

use Bmt\ISRC\ISWC;

$iswc = new ISWC("123", "456", "01");

Parsing an ISWC Code

You can parse an existing ISWC code to set the respective components of the ISWC object:

$iswc->parse("T-123456789-01");

Retrieving ISWC Components

You can retrieve individual components of the ISWC code:

$countryCode = $iswc->getCountryCode(); // Returns the country code (e.g., "123")
$publisherCode = $iswc->getPublisherCode(); // Returns the publisher code (e.g., "456")
$workCode = $iswc->getWorkCode(); // Returns the work code (e.g., "01")

Generating a Complete ISWC Code

Generate a complete ISWC code based on the stored components:

$newIswcCode = $iswc->generateISWC(); // Returns a new ISWC code (e.g., "T-123456789-01")

Converting to String

You can also convert the ISWC object to a string, which returns the generated ISWC code:

$iswcString = (string)$iswc; // Returns the ISWC code as a string (e.g., "T-123456789-01")
