I'm trying to generate QR codes on my website. All they have to do is have a URL in them, which a variable on my site will provide. What would be the easiest way to do this?

回答1:
It's worth adding that, in addition to the QR codes library posted by @abaumg, Google provides a QR Codes API QR Codes APImany thanks to @Toukakoukan for the link update.
To use this , basically:
https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=300x300&cht=qr&chl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&choe=UTF-8
300x300
is the size of the QR image you want to generate,- the
chl
is the url-encoded string you want to change into a QR code, and - the
choe
is the (optional) encoding.
The link, above, gives more detail, but to use it just have the src
of an image point to the manipulated value, like so:
<img src="https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=300x300&cht=qr&chl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&choe=UTF-8" title="Link to Google.com" />

The easiest way to generate QR codes with PHP is the phpqrcode library.
回答3:
The phpqrcode library is really fast to configure and the API documentation is easy to understand.
In addition to abaumg's answer I have attached 2 examples in PHP
from http://phpqrcode.sourceforge.net/examples/index.php
1. QR code encoder
first include the library from your local path
include('../qrlib.php');
then to output the image directly as PNG stream do for example:
QRcode::png('your texte here...');
to save the result locally as a PNG image:
$tempDir = EXAMPLE_TMP_SERVERPATH;
$codeContents = 'your message here...';
$fileName = 'qrcode_name.png';
$pngAbsoluteFilePath = $tempDir.$fileName;
$urlRelativeFilePath = EXAMPLE_TMP_URLRELPATH.$fileName;
QRcode::png($codeContents, $pngAbsoluteFilePath);
2. QR code decoder
See also the zxing decoder:
http://zxing.org/w/decode.jspx
Pretty useful to check the output.
3. List of Data format
A list of data format you can use in your QR code according to the data type :
- Website URL: http://stackoverflow.com (including the protocole
http://
) - email address: mailto:name@example.com
- Telephone Number: +16365553344 (including country code)
- SMS Message: smsto:number:message
- MMS Message: mms:number:subject
- YouTube Video: youtube://ID (may work on iPhone, not standardized)

The endroid/QrCode library is easy to use, well maintained, and can be installed using composer. There is also a bundle to use directly with Symfony.
Installing :
$ composer require endroid/qrcode
Usage :
<?php
use Endroid\QrCode\QrCode;
$qrCode = new QrCode();
$qrCode
->setText('Life is too short to be generating QR codes')
->setSize(300)
->setPadding(10)
->setErrorCorrection('high')
->setForegroundColor(array('r' => 0, 'g' => 0, 'b' => 0, 'a' => 0))
->setBackgroundColor(array('r' => 255, 'g' => 255, 'b' => 255, 'a' => 0))
->setLabel('Scan the code')
->setLabelFontSize(16)
->setImageType(QrCode::IMAGE_TYPE_PNG)
;
// now we can directly output the qrcode
header('Content-Type: '.$qrCode->getContentType());
$qrCode->render();
// or create a response object
$response = new Response($qrCode->get(), 200, array('Content-Type' => $qrCode->getContentType()));

qrcode-generator on Github. Simplest script and works like charm.
Pros:
- No third party dependency
- No limitations for the number of QR code generations

I know the question is how to generate QR codes using PHP, but for others who are looking for a way to generate codes for websites doing this in pure javascript is a good way to do it. The jquery-qrcode jquery plugin does it well.

I have been using google qrcode api for sometime, but I didn't quite like this because it requires me to be on the Internet to access the generated image.
I did a little comand-line research and found out that linux has a command line tool qrencode
for generating qr-codes.
I wrote this little script. And the good part is that the generated image is less than 1KB in size. Well the supplied data is simply a url.
$url = ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] ? "https://" : "http://").$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/profile.php?id='.$_GET['pid'];
$img = shell_exec('qrencode --output=- -m=1 '.escapeshellarg($url));
$imgData = "data:image/png;base64,".base64_encode($img);
Then in the html I load the image:
<img class="emrQRCode" src="<?=$imgData ?>" />
You just need to have installed it. [most imaging apps on linux would have installed it under the hood without you realizing.
