README

🔐A basic library to encode and decode JSON Web Tokens (JWT) in PHP, conforming to RFC 7519.

Notice that this project is forked from firebase/php-jwt. So why I made a similar one?

  1. I want to learn the JWT deeply, so it's not enough that just using other's package and reading it.
  2. I want to add/change some feature, maybe it's better to collaborate with them, but as you see, I just made one :P

Requirement

  1. PHP >= 5.6.0
  2. Openssl extension

Installation

Use composer to manage your dependencies and download PHP-JWT:

composer require imxfly/jwt

Example

<?php
use \imxfly\JWT\JWT;

$key = "example_key";
$token = array(
    "iss" => "http://example.org",
    "aud" => "http://example.com",
    "iat" => 1356999524,
    "nbf" => 1357000000
);

/**
 * IMPORTANT:
 * You must specify supported algorithms for your application. See
 * https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-algorithms-40
 * for a list of spec-compliant algorithms.
 */
$jwt = JWT::encode($token, $key);
$decoded = JWT::decode($jwt, $key);

print_r($decoded);

/*
 NOTE: This will now be an object instead of an associative array. To get
 an associative array, you will need to cast it as such:
*/

$decoded_array = (array) $decoded;
?>

Example with RS256 (openssl)

<?php
use imxfly\JWT\JWT;
