Quick start

Parse a QIF file

use Silarhi\Qif\Parser;

$parser = Parser::parseFile('/path/to/export.qif');

foreach ($parser->getTransactions() as $transaction) {
    $transaction->getType();        // ?Types enum, e.g. Types::Bank
    $transaction->getDate();        // ?DateTimeImmutable
    $transaction->getAmount();      // ?float, e.g. -1234.5
    $transaction->getDescription(); // ?string, the payee (P line)
    $transaction->getStatus();      // Status enum
}

To parse content you already have in memory, use the constructor and call parse(), which returns the transactions:

$transactions = (new Parser($content))->parse();

Dates are read day first (25/12/2023) and the decimal separator of each amount is detected. For the month-first dates of US Quicken exports, or to read every amount with the same separator, pass the options:

use Silarhi\Qif\Enums\DateFormat;
use Silarhi\Qif\Enums\DecimalSeparator;

$parser = Parser::parseFile('/path/to/export.qif', DateFormat::MonthFirst, DecimalSeparator::Point);

A date or an amount that cannot be read without guessing (31/02/2023, 1,234) throws a Silarhi\Qif\Exception\ParseException. Every getter, and what the parser reads or ignores, is in Parsing QIF files.

Write a QIF file

Build Transaction objects, add them to a Writer, then print it or save it:

writing.php

<?php

use Silarhi\Qif\Enums\Types;
use Silarhi\Qif\Transaction;
use Silarhi\Qif\Writer;

$writer = new Writer();

$writer->addTransaction(
    (new Transaction(Types::Bank))
        ->setDate(new DateTimeImmutable('2026-01-15'))
        ->setDescription('Example Hardware Store')
        ->setAddress("1 Market Square\nSpringfield")
        ->setMemo('Drill and bits')
        ->setAmount(-118.99)
        ->setCategory('Home')
        ->addSplit('Home:Tools', -100)
        ->addSplit('Tax', -18.99, 'VAT')
        ->markAsCleared()
);

$writer->addTransaction(
    (new Transaction(Types::Bank))
        ->setDate(new DateTimeImmutable('2026-01-31'))
        ->setDescription('Acme Corp')
        ->setAmount('2,400.00')
        ->setCategory('Income:Salary')
);

echo $writer;

Output

$writer->saveToFile('/path/to/export.qif'); // or write it to disk
