Additional text to the QR

[tkoszo]

Is it possible to add additional text to the QR image or under of the QR code?

[codemasher]

How exactly do you mean? Can you please provide an example?

I'm looking for something like the attached image as a QR code with some different text (value) as an ID or title, name. It's much easier to identify QR codes when printing out them if we have some additional text on it.

Ah, thank you! That's quite simple. You could either extend QRImage (or QRImagick respectively) and create a new image with your text and copy the qrcode into it, or you can use the return value of the dump() method to do the same externally. I could provide you with a simple example tomorrow.

So i made a little example with room for improvements (unicode, font size, true type font etc.) but i think you get the gist of it: QRImageWithText and imageWithText.php. Good luck!

[tkoszo]

Woww, thank you very much for the example and help! :)

Could you please check this as using your example giving this error and not sure where to fix.

Do you by chance have the full debug output and/or your code that causes it?

Hello,
Firstly thank you for this generator.
I have a problem with ImageWithText.
I have no problem with normal Image Generator; but when I tried the image with text, don't show anything.
Best regards

@ilkerkocatepe what exactly is the problem? I just ran that example locally and it seems to work fine. (hint: outcomment the header('Content-type: image/png'); line to see the error message if you're running the example in a browser).

Hi again, I'm using example code.
Error is:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'chillerlan\QRCode\QRImageWithText' not found

I'm getting this. Thank you.

[codemasher]

Ah, this helps! It is because this an example and the class is in the chillerlan\QRCodeExamples namespace, which is only loaded with dev dependencies. You would need to create this class in your own applications namespace (copy the example class and change its namespace to your application's) and run it from there.
