PHP ShapeFile release
First public release
13 November 2014
Working on a system to import and process ESRI Shapefiles directly to PostGIS, I needed a library to read those files in PHP.
There are a few ones floating online, but after trying almost all of them, I decided to build my own for a number of reasons:
- Bugs and limitations found in other libraries, especially related to multilinestrings and multipolygons
- Performance should remain high with huge files
- I have included native support for WKT output, which makes the import to PostGIS trivial
