I am attempting to turn some data into a QR on a webpage. To do this I am using 'php qrcode'.
Sourceforge Home Page of library: http://phpqrcode.sourceforge.net/
I am unable to generate the QR code using the library. Am I missing a PHP extension.
Thinking I was missing the GD2 extension, I did:
brew install gd
Current Code:
include( '../phpqrcode/qrlib.php' );
QRcode::png( 'PHP QR Code : )' );
Current Output:
�PNG IHDRWWKK/PLTE���U��~�IDAT8��ұ � PG.�N�t�tـ,V��H,pe�����4Ĵq�k�� ��j���'^l�����p�h�Sn�8D>3T-�%�����:\��z���4{oL��!C�-����_o�r���r��m��x+��,}��ő��|i����ʚt{oZ6\,i�{�5몏{���Ϫ����/MIEND�B`�
Edit: I have tried changing the html header to image/png. Same results.
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="image/png" charset="UTF-8">
Edit: Full Sample Code, Same results, no QR code.
<?php header('Content-type: image/png'); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="image/png" charset="utf-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
include( '../phpqrcode/qrlib.php' );
QRcode::png( 'PHP QR Code : )' );
?>
</body>
</html>
Edit: The following shows same results
<?php
header('Content-type: image/png');
include( '../phpqrcode/qrlib.php' );
QRcode::png( 'PHP QR Code : )' );
?>
Edit: Using laravel framework
Try this:
<?php
header('Content-Type: image/png');
include( '../phpqrcode/qrlib.php' );
QRcode::png( 'PHP QR Code : )' );
?>
When outputting an image, you don't need HTML tags. Alternatively, you could use img tag with data:... source. For an example, see here.
