Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories.
In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages.
Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository.

- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package zpl-to-png
ZPL to PNG 🦓
stripey-horse: A knock-off Zebra renderer. A PHP client for stripey-horse (a ZPL to PNG renderer).
An example render of fedex.zplbin.
Getting Started
- Install
stripey-horse - Locate your binary path:
which stripey-horse
Why?
The Labelary API is great, but it only allows 5 requests per second. This leads to constant errors and failures when generating labels at scale.
Sadly, there are no simple ways to pay for higher limits. You have to contact Labelary directly and negotiate a custom deal to self-host.
Benefits
- No rate limits - render as many labels as you need
- No external dependencies - works completely offline
- Cost effective - hence "Stripey Horse" instead of "Zebra"
- Near-perfect rendering - comparable quality to Labelary
- Accurate Barcode rendering - able to render all sorts of industry barcodes for UPS, Fedex, etc.

This uses process communication, why no FFI?
This was a tough design but I decided process communication was better for my use case (a PHP app needing to render ZPL files to PNGs and serve them to customers).
Reasons
- FFI would require going Go -> C -> PHP
- The C wrapper code would require manual memory management
- The
.sowould have to be installed in the PHP env instead of just installing a simple binary - FFI would connect PHP to this program. A crash would be fatal for PHP.
- FFI would have saved around 50ms invocation time, but for an app that takes 300ms to even render, not worth the trouble!
- Other image generation tools like GhostScript used by Imagick use process communication also
