• Getting Started

  Before we start coding qrcode Generate, we need to ensure we have a working web server and meet all the requirements below. We cannot execute PHP code without a working web server as it is a server-side programming language and it is to use

• Requirements

  • Web Server if you haven’t set up a local web server solution package, I suggest downloading and installing XAMPP. Is a set of open-source web server software.

  • You can use any editor, but i can use visual code studio because Visual Studio Code features a lightning fast source code editor, perfect for day-to-day use. With support for hundreds of languages, VS Code helps you be instantly productive with syntax highlighting, bracket-matching, auto-indentation, box-selection, snippets, and more.
  • Also use can download Qr code generator librarcy and The library provides developers with the tools to generate Qr codes with ease.

  • Next click on Apache module to start

  • Next click on MySQL module to Start

  • XAMPPs installation directory (C:\xampp)

here are some additional details about generating QR codes in PHP using the QRcode library:

The QRcode::png() function generates a QR code image and outputs it directly to the browser as a PNG image. If you want to save the QR code image to a file, you can pass the file path as the $outfile parameter. For example:

This will save the QR code image to the file qrcode.png in the current directory.

The error correction level can be specified using one of the following constants: QR_ECLEVEL_L, QR_ECLEVEL_M, QR_ECLEVEL_Q, or QR_ECLEVEL_H. These constants represent the four available error correction levels: low, medium, quartile, and high, respectively. The higher the error correction level, the more robust the QR code will be, but it will also be larger in size.

The margin size is the number of blank pixels that will be added around the QR code image. The default value is 4 pixels. You can adjust the margin size by changing the value of the $margin parameter.

You can then include this PHP script in your HTML page using an tag as shown below. The QR code image will be displayed in the frontend of your application.
