This is a simple project that has a Quick Response Code Generator in PHP with the use of PHP QR Code Library. This project's purpose is to share this with the IT/CS students or self-learners to give an idea of how to create a web app that generates a QR Code. The source code has only a minimum scope which only has a simple form that has 3 text/input fields. The fields are the email, subject, and message. These fields will be used for generating a Quick Response Code.

Features

• Simple Form
  
• Generated Quick Response Field
  
• Download QR Code as a PNG Format.
  

Plugins/Libraries Used

• PHPQRCODE
  
• Bootstrap 3.3.7
  

How the App Works

To generate a Quick Response (QR) Code, the user must fill first all text or input fields provided in the form. After that, when the user will submit the form, the Generated Quick Response Code will be shown on the right side of the screen. The expected text format of the generated QR Code is "mailto:{email}?subject={subject}&body={message}" (i.e. [mailto:[email protected]?subject=Test&body=Hello+World]). Click the Download button below the Generated QR Code to download the code into PNG Format.
