README
ShapeFile library for PHP
Features
This library supports the 2D and 3D variants, except MultiPatch, of the ShapeFile format as defined in https://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf. It can read and edit ShapeFiles and the associated information (DBF file). There are a lot of things that can be improved in the code, if you are interested in developing, helping with the documentation, making translations or offering new ideas please contact us.
Installation
Please use Composer to install:
composer require phpmyadmin/shapefile
To be able to read and write the associated DBF file you need the dbase
extension:
pecl install dbase echo "extension=dbase.so" > /etc/php8/conf.d/dbase.ini
Documentation
API documentation is available at https://develdocs.phpmyadmin.net/shapefile/.
Usage
To read a shape file:
use PhpMyAdmin\ShapeFile\ShapeFile; use PhpMyAdmin\ShapeFile\ShapeType; $shp = new ShapeFile(ShapeType::Null); $shp->loadFromFile('path/file.*');
History
This library is based on BytesFall ShapeFiles library written by Ovidio (ovidio AT users.sourceforge.net). It has been embedded in phpMyAdmin for years and slowly developed there. At one point people started to use our version rather than the original library and that was when we decided to make it a separate package.
