Swiss Ephemeris PHP Classes

With these PHP classes you can query the Swiss Ephemeris Software which is based on VB. With the PHP class, the position of astrological objects is queried via the exec() function through the terminal. My idea for the query was to use a kind of repository class to comfortably configure the query to the table file (.eph). If you have any suggestions for improvement, write to me on GITHUB.

###To begin, read this README.md file carefully

---

####Important:

This software only works with the .eph files. These must be in the /sweph folder or the path to the file must be specified in the constructor. I have included a small .eph table with a small time range

The best way to use this classes

Install via Composer Dependency Manager to your project a PHP project on an Linux system on (Windows are having problems because the commands are sent to the cmd.exe.). Add to your composer.json file and run composer update after that move the .se1 files from /demo to /sweph folder.

"repositories": [
    {
      "type": "github",
      "name": "rogergerecke/swiss-ephemeris",
      "url": "https://github.com/rogergerecke/SwissEphemeris.git"
    }
  ],
  "require": {
  "rogergerecke/swiss-ephemeris": "*",
  }
