How can you read QR Codes in PHP?

Question

Is there a plain PHP implementation for decoding QR codes?

I have a faux-smartphone. One of those phones that parades as a smartphone but that I can't download any apps for, and I want to create an email service to where I can take a picture of a QR code, MMS it to this email, and the email returns what the QR code contains.

However, the only libraries I've been able to find are in Python (and probably C++), neither of which I can access on my limited hosting environment.

Is there a way to read QR codes using only PHP?

Answer 1

There is only one pure PHP QR code decoder. It's working with GD library, but can use also ImageMagick. This PHP QR code reader is ported from ZXing.
