Tools to process EDI messages in UN/EDIFACT format

Supported syntax is version 3.

It's provided in a Composer package:

composer require sabas/edifact

The mapping XML files are provided in a separate package:

composer require php-edifact/edifact-mapping

EDI\Parser

Given an EDI message checks the syntax, outputs errors and returns the message as a multidimensional array.

INPUT

$p = new EDI\Parser();
$p->load($location);     // a local path to a file or a URL (if file_get_contents() allows for remote access)
$p->loadString($string); // a full message (single line text)
$p->loadArray($array);   // an array of strings (one segment per entry)

OUTPUT

Errors

$c->errors();

Array

$c->get();

EDI\Encoder

Given a multidimensional array (formatted as the output of the parser), returns an EDI string, optionally one segment per line.

INPUT

$c = new EDI\Encoder($x, $compact = true);

$x is a multidimensional array where first dimension is the EDI segment, second contains elements:

single value
array (representing composite elements)

$compact is a boolean, if you need a segment per line. Set to false to enable wrapped lines.

$c = new EDI\Encoder();
$c->encode($array, false);

OUTPUT

$c->get(); // returns String

EDI\Analyser

Create human-readable, structured text with comments from segments.xml. Requires the EDI\Mapping package.

        $parser = new EDI\Parser();
        $parser->load($file);
        $segments = $parser->getRawSegments();
        $parsed = $parser->get();
        $analyser = new EDI\Analyser();
        $mapping = new EDI\MappingProvider('D95B');
        $analyser->loadSegmentsXml($mapping->getSegments());
        $analyser->loadMessageXml($mapping->getMessage('coparn'));
        $analyser->loadCodesXml($mapping->getCodes());
        $analyser->directory = 'D95B';
        $result = $analyser->process($parsed, $segments);

$file is the path to orginal EDI message file
