The vCard library provides the ability to create vCard (RFC 6350) strings.

Creating vCard files

The vCard library allows creation of vCards in an object-oriented way.

The library provides class constants to provide code completion and improve code readability.

To create a vCard, create a new Vcard object then add properties to it; multiple properties with the same name are supported.

Properties that comprise multiple fields delimited by a SEMICOLON character (e.g., N and ADR) can be specified as array; empty fields must be given. If a property field is a list it may be specified as an array.

The following are equivalent:

->addProperty(
    Vcard::PROPERTY_N,
    'Perreault;Simon;;;ing. jr,M.Sc.'
)

->addProperty(
    Vcard::PROPERTY_N,
    [
        'Perreault',
        'Simon',
        '',
        '',
        'ing. jr,M.Sc.'
    ]
)

Provide property parameters as an array where the key is the parameter name (hint: use class constants) and the value is the value; if the value is a list it may be specified as an array.

The following are equivalent:

[
    Vcard::PARAMETER_VALUE => Vcard::VALUE_DATA_TYPE_URI,
    Vcard::PARAMETER_TYPE => '"' . Vcard::TYPE_WORK . ',' . Vcard::TYPE_VOICE . '"',
    Vcard::PARAMETER_PREF => 1
]

[
    Vcard::PARAMETER_VALUE => Vcard::VALUE_DATA_TYPE_URI,
    Vcard::PARAMETER_TYPE => [
        Vcard::TYPE_WORK,
        Vcard::TYPE_VOICE
    ],
    Vcard::PARAMETER_PREF => 1
]

Finally, call the Vcard's render() method.

Note

The library does not do any checking for validity; it is possible to create a string that is not a valid vCard.

Example

The following example creates the vCard at section 8 of RFC6350.

$vCard = (new Vcard())
    ->addProperty(
        Vcard::PROPERTY_FN,
        'Simon Perreault'
    )
    ->addProperty(
        Vcard::PROPERTY_N,
        [
            'Perreault',
            'Simon',
            '',
            '',
            'ing. jr,M.Sc.'
        ]
    )
    ->addProperty(
        Vcard::PROPERTY_BDAY,
        '--0203'
    )    
    ->addProperty(
        Vcard::PROPERTY_ANNIVERSARY,
        '20090808T1430-0500'
    )
    ->addProperty(
        Vcard::PROPERTY_GENDER,
        Vcard::GENDER_MALE
    )
    ->addProperty(
        Vcard::PROPERTY_LANG,
        'fr',
        [
            Vcard::PARAMETER_PREF => 1
        ]
    )
    ->addProperty(
        Vcard::PROPERTY_LANG,
        'en',
        [
            Vcard::PARAMETER_PREF => 2
        ]
    )
    ->addProperty(
        Vcard::PROPERTY_ORG,
        'Viagenie',
        [
            Vcard::PARAMETER_TYPE => Vcard::TYPE_WORK
        ]
    )
    ->addProperty(
        Vcard::PROPERTY_ADR,
        [
            '',
            'Suite D2-630',

        'tel:+1-418-656-9254;ext=102',
        [
            Vcard::PARAMETER_VALUE => Vcard::VALUE_DATA_TYPE_URI,
            Vcard::PARAMETER_TYPE => [
