We have a web based accounting software, and severly need to connect
to scanners and operate them via our programs. What can be used? PHP,
Javascript,... to do that? ??????

What an odd little question...

Are the scanners attached to the server, or the client?

They are connected to the clients.
I’m just looking for a way to handle it. What about Javascript?
What about asking users to scan the file and then upload the .JPG file
on our server?
Any other ways? ???

Forget JavaScript. Just scan directly to the server.

Any other ways? Try Googling "macro utility".

I don't think this question has anything to do with PHP.

By the way, one question mark is fine.

Write a normal, compiled, client-server app that uses sockets. It's quite
easy to do in Free Pascal/Delphi. However it might be a bit hard do use
Twain drivers...

PHP is executed on server. All the client get is html code + headers. So PHP
can't control scanners.
JavaScript can control only user's web browser, which *usually* can't scan
:]
Same with Java, Flash.

If you can ask user, to scan the image, than you can ask the user to send to
to you via e-mail.
