![Build Status](https://github.com/firebase/php-jwt/actions/workflows/tests.yml/badge.svg) [![Latest Stable Version](https://poser.pugx.org/firebase/php-jwt/v/stable)](https://packagist.org/packages/firebase/php-jwt) [![Total Downloads](https://poser.pugx.org/firebase/php-jwt/downloads)](https://packagist.org/packages/firebase/php-jwt) [![License](https://poser.pugx.org/firebase/php-jwt/license)](https://packagist.org/packages/firebase/php-jwt) PHP-JWT ======= A simple library to encode and decode JSON Web Tokens (JWT) in PHP, conforming to [RFC 7519](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519). Installation ------------ Use composer to manage your dependencies and download PHP-JWT: ```bash composer require firebase/php-jwt ``` Optionally, install the `paragonie/sodium_compat` package from composer if your php is < 7.2 or does not have libsodium installed: ```bash composer require paragonie/sodium_compat ``` Example ------- ```php use Firebase\JWT\JWT; use Firebase\JWT\Key; $key = "example_key"; $payload = array( "iss" => "http://example.org", "aud" => "http://example.com", "iat" => 1356999524, "nbf" => 1357000000 ); /** * IMPORTANT: * You must specify supported algorithms for your application. See * https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-algorithms-40 * for a list of spec-compliant algorithms. */ $jwt = JWT::encode($payload, $key, 'HS256'); $decoded = JWT::decode($jwt, new Key($key, 'HS256')); print_r($decoded); /* NOTE: This will now be an object instead of an associative array. To get an associative array, you will need to cast it as such: */ $decoded_array = (array) $decoded; /** * You can add a leeway to account for when there is a clock skew times between * the signing and verifying servers. It is recommended that this leeway should * not be bigger than a few minutes. * * Source: http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-ietf-oauth-json-web-token.html#nbfDef */ JWT::$leeway = 60; // $leeway in seconds $decoded = JWT::decode($jwt, new Key($key, 'HS256')); ``` Example with RS256 (openssl) ---------------------------- ```php use Firebase\JWT\JWT; use Firebase\JWT\Key; $privateKey = << "example.org", "aud" => "example.com", "iat" => 1356999524, "nbf" => 1357000000 ); $jwt = JWT::encode($payload, $privateKey, 'RS256'); echo "Encode:\n" . print_r($jwt, true) . "\n"; $decoded = JWT::decode($jwt, new Key($publicKey, 'RS256')); /* NOTE: This will now be an object instead of an associative array. To get an associative array, you will need to cast it as such: */ $decoded_array = (array) $decoded; echo "Decode:\n" . print_r($decoded_array, true) . "\n"; ``` Example with a passphrase ------------------------- ```php use Firebase\JWT\JWT; use Firebase\JWT\Key; // Your passphrase $passphrase = '[YOUR_PASSPHRASE]'; // Your private key file with passphrase // Can be generated with "ssh-keygen -t rsa -m pem" $privateKeyFile = '/path/to/key-with-passphrase.pem'; // Create a private key of type "resource" $privateKey = openssl_pkey_get_private( file_get_contents($privateKeyFile), $passphrase ); $payload = array( "iss" => "example.org", "aud" => "example.com", "iat" => 1356999524, "nbf" => 1357000000 ); $jwt = JWT::encode($payload, $privateKey, 'RS256'); echo "Encode:\n" . print_r($jwt, true) . "\n"; // Get public key from the private key, or pull from from a file. $publicKey = openssl_pkey_get_details($privateKey)['key']; $decoded = JWT::decode($jwt, new Key($publicKey, 'RS256')); echo "Decode:\n" . print_r((array) $decoded, true) . "\n"; ``` Example with EdDSA (libsodium and Ed25519 signature) ---------------------------- ```php use Firebase\JWT\JWT; use Firebase\JWT\Key; // Public and private keys are expected to be Base64 encoded. The last // non-empty line is used so that keys can be generated with // sodium_crypto_sign_keypair(). The secret keys generated by other tools may // need to be adjusted to match the input expected by libsodium. $keyPair = sodium_crypto_sign_keypair(); $privateKey = base64_encode(sodium_crypto_sign_secretkey($keyPair)); $publicKey = base64_encode(sodium_crypto_sign_publickey($keyPair)); $payload = array( "iss" => "example.org", "aud" => "example.com", "iat" => 1356999524, "nbf" => 1357000000 ); $jwt = JWT::encode($payload, $privateKey, 'EdDSA'); echo "Encode:\n" . print_r($jwt, true) . "\n"; $decoded = JWT::decode($jwt, new Key($publicKey, 'EdDSA')); echo "Decode:\n" . print_r((array) $decoded, true) . "\n"; ```` Using JWKs ---------- ```php use Firebase\JWT\JWK; use Firebase\JWT\JWT; // Set of keys. The "keys" key is required. For example, the JSON response to // this endpoint: https://www.gstatic.com/iap/verify/public_key-jwk $jwks = ['keys' => []]; // JWK::parseKeySet($jwks) returns an associative array of **kid** to Firebase\JWT\Key // objects. Pass this as the second parameter to JWT::decode. JWT::decode($payload, JWK::parseKeySet($jwks)); ``` Miscellaneous ------------- #### Casting to array The return value of `JWT::decode` is the generic PHP object `stdClass`. If you'd like to handle with arrays instead, you can do the following: ```php // return type is stdClass $decoded = JWT::decode($payload, $keys); // cast to array $decoded = json_decode(json_encode($decoded), true); ``` Changelog --------- #### 6.0.0 / 2022-01-24 - **Backwards-Compatibility Breaking Changes**: See the [Release Notes](https://github.com/firebase/php-jwt/releases/tag/v6.0.0) for more information. - New Key object to prevent key/algorithm type confusion (#365) - Add JWK support (#273) - Add ES256 support (#256) - Add ES384 support (#324) - Add Ed25519 support (#343) #### 5.0.0 / 2017-06-26 - Support RS384 and RS512.

Tests ----- Run the tests using phpunit: ```bash $ pear install PHPUnit $ phpunit --configuration phpunit.xml.dist PHPUnit 3.7.10 by Sebastian Bergmann. ..... Time: 0 seconds, Memory: 2.50Mb OK (5 tests, 5 assertions) ``` New Lines in private keys ----- If your private key contains `\n` characters, be sure to wrap it in double quotes `""` and not single quotes `''` in order to properly interpret the escaped characters.
