README

This is an easy to use, non-bloated, framework independent, barcode generator in PHP.

It creates PNG from the most used 1D barcode standards.

• The codebase is largely from the picqer/php-barcode-generator by Casper Bakker.

Prerequisities

• GD Library installed

Installation

Install through composer:

composer require jfilla/php-barcode-generator

Usage

Initiate the barcode generator for the output you want, then call the ->getBarcode() routine as many times as you want.

$generator = new Picqer\Barcode\BarcodeGeneratorPNG();
echo $generator->getBarcode('081231723897', $generator::TYPE_CODE_128);

The ->getBarcode() routine accepts the following:

• $code Data for the barcode
• $type Type of barcode, use the constants defined in the class
• $widthFactor Width is based on the length of the data, with this factor you can make the barcode bars wider than default
• $totalHeight The total height of the barcode
• $color Hex code of the foreground color
• $showCode Display barcode content as text
