In other words you need to know where the info is coming from to be able to determine what is stored in the barcode. >> >> >> >> Jason Pruim >> >> On Dec 6, 2010, at 11:21 AM, Floyd Resler <fresler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >>> Does anyone know of a class that can extract information from a barcode image? >>> >>> Thanks! >>> Floyd The process of scanning an image isn't that difficult to code, but using PHP for it is probably the wrong tool for the job. If you need this sort of work, then buy a toolkit. You can then get the job done a LOT quicker and you support from the original developer in case of problems. http://www.dtksoft.com/?p=barreader is one such toolkit (no affiliation - GIYF). It supports COM so, you can do this on windows easily enough. If you aren't using windows (why not? Its the best OS around you know ... oh. sorry.
