You'll have to be more specific. Can you present an example scenario?

to answer the question verbatim (though that probably won’t help), the PHP script does not care, how the data are delivered, as long as they are delivered (somehow). although I guess if it is about user input, a form (with submit button) is definitely the easiest and most straightforward approach.

Hi Msmjsuarez,
When should your data be inserted into the database?
It probably shouldn't happen when the user is in the middle of providing updated data...so how can you tell when the data should be inserted?
An easiest approach is to use a submit button, but you could always use JavaScript to determine if the user is finished editing. Once the user's finished you could use Ajax to submit the information to the server.
The hard part is going to be determining when the user is finished....whe n it is appropriate to submit the information.
Also, sometimes users have JavaScript and Ajax disabled so this may cause a problem with your web page. Use the <noscript> tags if you really want to take this approach.

hi everyone.
I have one textbox only in a page and the value of the textbox will obtain through the swipe of the barcode.
The scenario here is that i want to automatically insert the barcode into the mysql database after it is being swiped by the user. More specifically, they will not hit enter anymore after swipe their barcode, it will just automatically inserted to the database.
How to do this?
Thanks advance guys.

Ok, still you have to know when they're done entering the number. The bar code scanner works just like a keyboard, it just types for you.
So let's say you type in a bunch of numbers, when should you know it's done typing?
If the length of the bar code digits are fixed (e.g. 10 digit number), then the following may be a solution:
Having a javascript look inside the text box every time something is entered (the value is changed), and if it is 10 characters long, validate it, and send it off using AJAX, and then clear the textbox to be ready for the next entry.
If you have variable length product codes, then maybe a time solution. Every 2 seconds the box is checked for a value and is sent off if it's different than the last sent value.
You should have a manual mode, where if the bar code is damaged, the operator can hand type the product code into it and press enter.
Good luck,
Dan
hi dlite922.
do you have any codes for this?
thanks advance.
hi msmjsuarez -
how are you planning on doing this? Is it going to be based on a fixed length of the barcode number, or a timed interval?
are you going to use javascript?
It seems like you're going to have to use javascript here.
Maybe try coding something and post it here?
