Steps to Generate Data Matrix code in PHP

Aspose.BarCode makes it easy for developers to create Data Matrix code images with few lines of code.

Create a new instance of BarCodeGenerator class
Specify Data Matrix code and other relevant barcode types as the EncodeTypes parameter
Set barcode text as the second parameter
Specify image dimensions and location if needed
Call the BarCodeGenerator.save method to obtain the Data Matrix code image in the required format
