README

Zerg is a small PHP tool that allow you simply parse structured binary files like lsdj memory dump file, jpeg encoded image or your custom binary format file.

Introdution

If you are reading this, chances are you know exactly why you need to read binary files in PHP. So I will not explain to you that this is not a good idea. Nevertheless, I like you needed to do this is in PHP. That's why I create zerg project. During creation, I was inspired by following projects: alexras/bread and themainframe/php-binary.

Installation

composer require klermonte/zerg dev-master
Or add "klermonte/zerg": "dev-master" to your dependancy list in composer.json and run composer update

Usage

// Describe your binary format in zerg language
$fieldCollection = new \Zerg\Field\Collection([
    'stringValue' => ['string', 15],
    'intValue' => ['arr', 5, ['int', 8]],
    'enumValue' => ['enum', 8, [
            0 => 'zero',
            10 => 'ten',
            32 => 'many'
        ], ['default' => 'not found']
    ]
]);

// Wrap your data in one of zerg streams
$sourceStream = new \Zerg\StringStream("Hello from zerg123456");

//Get your data structure
$data  = $fieldCollection->parse($sourceStream);
print_r($data);
/*
Array
(
    [stringValue] => Hello from zerg
    [intValue] => Array
        (
            [0] => 49
            [1] => 50
            [2] => 51
            [3] => 52
            [4] => 53
        )

    [enumValue] => not found
)

Field types

Integer

// Object notation
// --------------------------------------
// $field = new Int(<size>, <options>);

$field = new Int(4);
$field = new Int('byte', [
    'signed' => true, 
    'formatter' => function($value) {
        return $value * 100;
    }
]);

// Array notation
// --------------------------------------
// $fieldArray = ['int', <size>, <options>];

Avaliable options

Option name Avaliable values Description
signed boolean, default false Whether field value is signed or not
endian PhpBio\Endian::ENDIAN_BIG or
PhpBio\Endian::ENDIAN_LITTLE
Endianess of field
formatter callable callback, that take 2 arguments:
function ($parsedValue, $dataSetInstance) {...}

String

// Object notation
// --------------------------------------
// $field = new String(<size>, <options>);

$field = new String(16);
$field = new String('short', [
    'endian' => PhpBio\Endian::ENDIAN_BIG, 
    'formatter' => function($value) {
        return str_repeat($value, 2);
    }
]);

// Array notation
// --------------------------------------
// $fieldArray = ['string', <size>, <options>];

Avaliable options

Option name Avaliable values Description
endian PhpBio\Endian::ENDIAN_BIG or
PhpBio\Endian::ENDIAN_LITTLE
Endianess of field
formatter callable callback, that take 2 arguments:
function ($parsedValue, DataSet $dataSet) {...}

Padding

// Object notation
// --------------------------------------
// $field = new Padding(<size>);

$field = new Padding(16);

// Array notation
// --------------------------------------
// $fieldArray = ['padding', <size>];

Enum

// Object notation
// --------------------------------------
// $field = new Enum(<size>, <values>, <options>);

$field = new Enum(8, [0, 1, 2, 3]);
$field = new Enum('short', [
        1234 => 'qwerty1',
        2345 => 'qwerty2'
    ], [
        'default' => 'abcdef'
    ]
);

// Array notation
// --------------------------------------
// $fieldArray = ['enum', <values>, <options>];

Avaliable options

Option name Avaliable values Description
default mixed, optional Value, that will be returned, if no one key from values matchs to parsed value

And all options from Integer field type.

Conditional

// Object notation
// --------------------------------------
// $field = new Conditional(<key>, <fields>, <options>);

$field = new Conditional('/path/to/key/value', [
        1 => ['int', 32],
        2 => ['string', 32]
    ], [
        'default' => ['padding', 32]
    ]
);

// Array notation
// --------------------------------------
// $fieldArray = ['conditional', <fields>, <options>];

Avaliable options

Option name Avaliable values Description
default array, optional Field in array notation, that will be used, if no one key from field matchs to parsed value

Array

// Object notation
// --------------------------------------
// $field = new Arr(<count>, <field>, <options>);

$field = new Arr(10, ['int', 32]);

// Array notation
// --------------------------------------
// $fieldArray = ['arr', <field>, <options>];

Avaliable options

Option name Avaliable values Description
until 'eof' or callable If set, array field count parameter will be ignored, and field will parse values until End of File or callback return false, callback take one argument:
function ($lastParsedValue) {...}

Collection

// Object notation
// --------------------------------------
// $field = new Collection(<fields>, <options>);

$field = new Collection([
    'firstValue' => ['int', 32],
    'secondValue' => ['string', 32]
]);

// Array notation
// --------------------------------------
// $fieldArray = ['collection', <fields>, <options>];
// or just
// $fieldArray = <fields>;

Back links

Size, count and conditional key parameters may be declared as a back link - path to already parsed value. Path can starts with / sign, that means root of data set or with '../' for relative path.

$fieldCollection = new \Zerg\Field\Collection([
    'count' => ['string', 2],
    'intValue' => ['arr', '/count', ['int', 8]]
]);
$sourceStream = new \Zerg\StringStream("101234567890");
$data = $fieldCollection->parse($sourceStream);
print_r($data);
/*
Array
(
    [count] => 10
    [intValue] => Array
        (
            [0] => 49
            [1] => 50
            [2] => 51
            [3] => 52
            [4] => 53
            [5] => 54
            [6] => 55
            [7] => 56
            [8] => 57
            [9] => 48
        )
)

Conditional example

$fieldCollection = new \Zerg\Field\Collection([
    'count' => ['string', 2],
    'conditional' => ['conditional', '/count', [
            0 => ['string', 80],
            10 => ['int', 16]
        ],
        [
            'default' => ['string', 2]
        ]
    ]
]);
$sourceStream = new \Zerg\StringStream("101234567890");
$data = $fieldCollection->parse($sourceStream);
print_r($data);
/*
Array
(
    [count] => 10
    [conditional] => 12849
)
