FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:

If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.

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. You can look here for more information.

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.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

JPL Moshier Ephemeris PHP FFI

PHP 8.3+ FFI wrapper for the independent JPL Moshier Ephemeris C library.

This package wraps the project-owned jme_* C API from the JPL Moshier Ephemeris native library.

Contract

Primary public functions: jme_*
Primary public constants: JME_*
Current wrapper target: all 204 public jme_* functions tracked by the native API inventory
Native headers contain 462 JME_* tokens including two header guards; the PHP wrapper exposes the semantic native constants and preserves existing compatibility aliases where present
Native backend: libjme.so, libjme.dylib, or jme.dll
No hidden rounding, output reshaping, or dropped status/error buffers
Incomplete native behavior should return JME_ERR from the C library rather than pretending to provide production ephemeris output

Engine Selection

The low-level JmeEphFFI class exposes every native function directly. The optional Laravel-style JmeService::calc() convenience method sets ENGINE=... through jme_set_astro_models() and then calls jme_calc():

AUTO: let the native C core choose its standard JPL/fallback policy
JPL: require JPL kernel-backed behavior
MOSHIER: force Moshier analytical behavior
VSOP_ELP_MEEUS: force VSOP87/ELP2000/Meeus analytical behavior

Use direct jme_jpl_* calls for raw JPL/CALCEPH kernel access. The PHP layer does not normalize or reinterpret native outputs.

Requirements

PHP ^8.3
PHP FFI extension (ext-ffi)
A compiled JME shared library
The matching CALCEPH runtime library when using the JPL/CALCEPH backend

By default, the wrapper loads the bundled platform library from this package, for example:

Override it with:

Runtime Libraries and Kernels

Composer installs prebuilt runtime archives from this repository's GitHub releases when a local library is not already present. Each runtime archive contains:

JME: jme.dll, libjme.so, or libjme.dylib
CALCEPH: the platform runtime library required by JPL kernel mode

JPL .bsp kernels are not shipped in this package. Download them separately from the native JME kernel release:

Supported kernel choices:

de440s.bsp - small
de440.bsp - medium
de441.bsp - large, published as split release parts because the full file exceeds GitHub's single asset size limit

Quick Start

Test

The test suite verifies the PHP wrapper against the JME-native contract, including function inventory coverage, constant inventory coverage, key JME_* values, and convenience calculation paths. Set JME_SOURCE_PATH if the native source tree is not at the default local path.

composer verify:surface performs an exact low-level surface audit of the generated wrapper:

204 tracked jme_* declarations compared against the native header prototypes
462 JME_* constants compared against native header values
numeric constants cross-checked through a compiled C probe instead of trusting PHP generation alone
