Barcode and PHP

[tiksya]

Were having a project "time-in System", the concept is, instead of manual input of time-in details in the form, we will be using the bar code, from our ID, the barcode scanner will automatically detect the each assign barcode of the employee and then it will automatically capture the barcode in the php login field and then automatically post it in the database.

Hi, and welcome to TSDN!

I fail to see a question in your post. Is there anything specific that you need help with?

Is the issue the creation of the bar code? There are several PHP classes that can do this for you. Just google PHP Classes and barcodes and you should find something that can help you. Also you could check this out:

Nope, actually not the generation of the bar, our barcode scanner can already translate the barcode from our idcard...my problem is what script can be use on how to post automatically(to the database) the detected barcode information.

doesn't the bar code reader send the barcode number in ascii text format? Possibly with CRNL on the end - as if it had come in from the keyboard by a user? I know some of them do, although I have not done this in PHP.

As I understand it, what you are looking for is an input method in PHP that accepts the barcoded information sent by the barcode reader. So what have you tried so far?
