FAQ
Example:
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 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 cellular-identifier
Why does this exist?
Device identifiers from cellular equipment can have many different formats and follow multiple specifications. Therefore, the same device can be referenced by many different device identifiers, which is a problem, because cellular serial numbers are often used as unique identifiers.
This class will allow you to convert a cellular device identification number from one format to another (hex to dec and vice-versa), and from one specification to another (e.g. from MEID to pseudo ESN).
If any additional mobile identifier specifications and formats appear in the future, this class can easily be amended to include them.
How do I use this?
Checking if a given identifier is valid:
Converting between formats; returning a single value:
Converting between many formats; returning many values:
Calculating a check digit:
How does this class work?
- A regex determines the specification and format of the given identifier.
- Values from the given identifier are cached.
- Transformation methods are called on the identifier object.
- A transformation function is retrieved from an array
- The transformation function is applied to the identfier object.
- The returned value of the transformation function is cached.
- The internal state of the object changes to reflect the most recent transformation.
Since so many strings are being used to reference transformation functions and cached values, you will notice liberal use of AbstractClass::someconstant. This is to reduce runtime errors for mis-typing strings, and also serves as a conceptual model which says, "These are specifications and formats, not just strings of characters." Using abstract class constants is the simplest way to mimic an enum in PHP.
Also, you will notice we had to take liberties to make this class work in PHP 5.3, which has some minor array key and closure deficiencies.
Limitations
All-decimal MEID inputs
There is some confusion between MEID and IMEI. Some devices, such as Motorola world phones, have two separate radios; in which case, the IMEI and MEID will have nothing to do with each other. Some devices, such as the Apple iPhone, use the IMEI as an MEID. For calculation purposes, IMEI are base-10, and MEID are base-16; which means that the check digit calculation for an all-decimal IMEI (base-10) and an all-decimal MEID (base-16) will be different, even though they contain the same decimal digits. Therefore, if you instantiate a CellularIdentifier object with an all-decimal pattern that could be either an IMEI or an MEID, we assume that the pattern in an IMEI.
Check digit calculations
Only check digit calculations for decimal IMEIs are supported.
