bitcoinconsensus-php

Build Status codecov

PHP extension for Bitcoin Script validation.

It exposes bindings to the bitcoinconsensus.h library, which exposes the VerifyScript with a C compatible interface.

The library is normally build during compilation of Bitcoin Core, and is also distributed in signed releases of Bitcoin Core. This means you can build your own or get a trusted copy.

Requirements

Version v3.0.0 can be run on PHP versions > 7.0.

  • In theory can be built with versions before Bitcoin Core v0.13.0.

Version v2.0.0 can run on PHP versions 5.3 - 5.6, and PHP 7.0 - 7.2, 7.3-RC

  • It must be built against Bitcoin Core v0.13.0 upwards.

See how to install a certain branch in the installation section.

Supported features

Script verification flags:

BITCOINCONSENSUS_SCRIPT_FLAGS_VERIFY_NONE
BITCOINCONSENSUS_SCRIPT_FLAGS_VERIFY_P2SH
BITCOINCONSENSUS_SCRIPT_FLAGS_VERIFY_DERSIG

Optional (depends on bitcoinconsensus.h build):
BITCOINCONSENSUS_SCRIPT_FLAGS_VERIFY_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY
BITCOINCONSENSUS_SCRIPT_FLAGS_VERIFY_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY
BITCOINCONSENSUS_SCRIPT_FLAGS_VERIFY_WITNESS
BITCOINCONSENSUS_SCRIPT_FLAGS_VERIFY_NULLDUMMY
