README
PHPePub allows a php script to generate ePub Electronic books on the fly, and send them to the user as downloads.
PHPePub support most of the ePub 2.01 specification, and enough of the new ePub3 specification to make valid ePub 3 books as well.
Installation
Import
Add this requirement to your composer.json
file:
"aadutskevich/phpepub": ">=4.0.3"
Composer
If you already have Composer installed, skip this part.
Packagist, the main composer repository has a neat and very short guide. Or you can look at the guide at the Composer site.
The easiest for first time users, is to have the composer installed in the same directory as your composer.json file, though there are better options.
Run this from the command line:
php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
This will check your PHP installation, and download the composer.phar
, which is the composer binary. This file is not needed on the server though.
Once composer is installed you can create the composer.json
file to import this package.
{ "require": { "aadutskevich/phpepub": ">=4.0.3", "php": ">=5.3.0" } }
Followed by telling Composer to install the dependencies.
php composer.phar install
this will download and place all dependencies defined in your composer.json
file in the vendor
directory.
Finally, you include the autoload.php
file in the new vendor
directory.
<?php require 'vendor/autoload.php'; . . .
