thanks... actually what I need to have it do is just fill in the user's name and password... security is not high on the priority list... the only thing that the fingerprint reader is going to do is make the process of login fast and hopefuly error free... I am using the microsoft fingerprint reader... looks like I need to find an activex (that doesn't seem to exist) that will pop the access info into the username and password box... the problem with the packaged software is that there can only be one fingerprint profile per user account... i need like 80 profiles... there should be some sort of other hardware/software solution out there that I will run across... anyhow... thanks for your help... my apologizes for making an off topic request Joe On 5/31/05, disguised.jedi@xxxxxxxxx <disguised.jedi@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 5/31/05, Joe Harman <cjharman@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Has anyone out there found a way to get information from a USB device > > running on their computer... what i am trying to do is retrive the > > fingerprint ID that the Microsoft USB fingerprint reader returns for a > > finger print and put it in a webpage form??? > > > > There has to be a way to do it... > > > > -- > > Joe Harman > > --------- > > Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path > > and leave a trail. - Ralph Waldo Emerson > > > > -- > > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > > > > AFAIK, the fingerprint reader acknowledges the fingerprint is correct, > then inputs some HUGE password into the form, and if it isn't correct, > it doesn't put the password in..... > > So is what you are doing really needed? > > If so, I'd look into a browser plugin...this isn't something PHP can do.... > > -- > PHP rocks! > "Knowledge is Power.
