APORIA Works Registration

APORIA Works Registration is a PHP library for reading, writing and manipulating CISAC Common Works Registration (CWR) v2.1R7 and v2.2 files. Aporia has been using this library in a production environment as a method of sending registrations to MusicMark and CMRRA directly from a Filemaker database since late 2016.

Limitations/Caveats:

Agreement (AGR, TER, IPA) record types are not currently implemented.
Non-Roman character record types (NPA, NPN, NWN, NAT, NPR, NET, NCT, NVT, NOW) are not currently implemented.
CWR Light (i.e. the SOC transaction type) is not currently implemented.
The library has been designed to handle CWR 2.2, but I have not been able to test this, since none of the societies I belong to have implemented CWR 2.2 yet.
As Aporia does not represent any works in the 'serious' distribution category, record types COM, INS, and IND have not been thoroughly tested.
