PHP-JWT

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

Installation

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

composer require firebase/php-jwt

Example

<?phpuse \Firebase\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, $key, array('HS256'));
print_r($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) $decoded;
/** * You can add a leeway to account for when there is a clock skew times between * the signing and verifying servers. It is recommended that this leeway should * not be bigger than a few minutes. * * Source: http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-ietf-oauth-json-web-token.html#nbfDef */JWT::$leeway = 60; // $leeway in seconds$decoded = JWT::decode($jwt, $key, array('HS256'));
?>

2.1.0 / 2015-05-20

• Add support for adding a leeway to JWT:decode() that accounts for clock skew between signing and verifying entities. Thanks to @lcabral!
• Add support for passing an object implementing the ArrayAccess interface for $keys argument in JWT::decode(). Thanks to @aztech-dev!

2.0.0 / 2015-04-01

• Note: It is strongly recommended that you update to > v2.0.0 to address known security vulnerabilities in prior versions when both symmetric and asymmetric keys are used together.
• Update signature for JWT::decode(...) to require an array of supported algorithms to use when verifying token signatures.
