PHP wouldn't have anything to do with it. Your barcode should "fill in" a text area on a web page, which is the submitted to a PHP file for processing. You'll need something client site to get the code from the scanner to the web page. Unless you're talking about a program that acutally monitors the COM port that the scanner is plugged into on the server? ---John Holmes... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Norma Ramirez - TECNOSOFT" <norma.ramirez@tecnosoft.com.co> To: "lista php" <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, July 28, 2003 3:19 PM Subject: Bar codes in PHP Hi all, does someone know how to capture or read bar codes from php?
