saving qr as image file

[Odido]

sorry for asking, but I can not find out how to save the generated qr code to a file in a defined directory (no need to show it on screen) - without user interaction.

Any help appreciated - thx

Just add the path to the destination file as second parameter to the render() method like so:

$qrcode->render($data, '/path/to/file.svg');

See also: Advanced usage in the wiki.

thx. I was trying that but should have omitted the leading /. Without it is working.

Glad it worked now! The safest bet would probably be using the __DIR__ constant and/or realpath().

Is there a better way to do this? It does not work for me for some reason.

[codemasher]

What are you trying to do? I can't help you without code example or any further information.

Well I was trying to make the program put the qrcode image into a directory but I gave up, lol. Not any real clear direction on this process. Using a different program now. Thanks! :-)

what program you used?

I ended up using an older program https://phpqrcode.sourceforge.net/ It works, I didn't need anything fancy like a logo in it or anything but it works! lol
