IMPORTANT: A new set of PHP bindings for libdmtx named php-dmtx has been released by Mikko Koppanen. Mikko's bindings perform both encoding and decoding of Data Matrix barcodes, and the old PHP bindings bundled with libdmtx (libdmtx-php) will likely be deprecated soon. Please try out Mikko's package, available at:
