hey thanks a lot guys ..sorry to bother you again . i was opening the file directly from browser from the location htdocs ...i changed the file location to htdocs/xampp and it has started executing but there are some warnings http://fedora.12.n6.nabble.com/file/n4939982/image.png ... I have used the command : chmod 0777 /dev/ttyUSB0 to give permissions . I have also tried to add the apache user "prudhvi" to the dialout group by using command : $ usermod -a -G dialout prudhvi . But it doesnt work . I have used the "$whoami" to check name of user and added that user "prudhvi" to the dialout group . It still doesnt work .
