Build Status

PHP-JWT

A simple library to encode and decode JSON Web Tokens (JWT) in PHP. Should conform to the current spec

Installation

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

composer require firebase/php-jwt

Example

<?php

$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;

?>

Changelog

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.
