PC/SC for PHP
About
This is the only extension for using PC/SC based smart cards with PHP. It is a wrapper to the wonderful and free project by Ludovic Rousseau, PCSC-Lite, which is the middleware to access a smart card using SCard API (PC/SC). Since PCSC-Lite is compatible to the winscard API it should be possible to compile this extension using a Windows or macOS operating system.
Thanks are going to Johann Dantant! He provided a PC/SC extension for PHP since 2005 and I reused some of his code. He allowed me to relicense these parts under the terms of the PHP license so I could integrate PCSC-Lite native into PHP.
Installation
I recommend to install the PECL extension the "PHP" way:
pecl install pcsc-beta
You can install the latest code by downloading the sources and compile yourself too.
git clone https://github.com/pcsc-for-php/pcsc.git
cd pcsc
phpize
./configure
make
make install
After that you have all needed files in ./modules/ .
API
The extension currently provides the following API:
scard_establish_context">scard_establish_context();
Returns the application $context to the PC/SC resource manager.
scard_is_valid_context">scard_is_valid_context($context);
Returns TRUE if $context is valid or FALSE if $context is not valid.
scard_release_context">scard_release_context($context);
Releases the application $context.
scard_list_readers">scard_list_readers($context);
Returns an array of available readers or FALSE.
Example:
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(26) "OMNIKEY CardMan 5x21 00 00"
[1]=>
string(26) "OMNIKEY CardMan 5x21 00 01"
[2]=>
string(76) "SCL01x Contactless Reader [SCL01x Contactless Reader] (21161009200722) 00 00"
}
scard_connect">scard_connect($context, "OMNIKEY CardMan 5x21 00 00");
Connects to a card. Returns the $connection to a reader or FALSE.
scard_reconnect">scard_reconnect($connection);
Returns the $connection to a reader or FALSE.
scard_disconnect">scard_disconnect($connection);
Disconnects the $connection to a card. Returns the TRUE if disconnecting was succesful or FALSE.
scard_transmit">scard_transmit($connection, $apdu);
Returns the response $apdu as string or FALSE.
scard_status">scard_status($connection);
Returns the status or FALSE.
scard_cancel">scard_cancel($context);

This code is licensed under the terms of the PHP License version 3.01. PCSC-Lite is licensed in a way where it is possible to integrate it native in the PHP environment.
