The problem with this suggestion, unless people know of a good solution, is that I need a ruggedized mobile system with built in 2d bar code scanner that will treat the bar code data as keyboard entry so the user, in the web browser, basically has the curser in the right form field, scans the bar code, and the number gets dumped in directly. I haven't found any ruggedized, builtin mobile scanners that run linux at this time. Anybody have any suggestions on that?(Symbol makes really nice ruggedized pocket pc based ones with built in scanners and an application piece that treats it as keyboard entry) James Kilbride > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason Wong [mailto:php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 10:31 AM > To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: PHP on Mobile Devices(Pocket PC specifically) > > On Wednesday 30 November 2005 22:48, Kilbride, James wrote: > > Does anybody know of a way to run PHP files on a windows mobile > > device(Pocket PC 2003)?
