Start here:

it should be all you need, no other software.

what do you mean the books are scanned? They have to be entered, and if they're using a scanner to scan the ISBN for example, the scanner acts like a keyboard, so they don't have to manually enter the numbers.

If you know some programming, check out Ruby On Rails. You'll complete your project in less than an hour if you don't need a fancy GUI and CSS coding.

you mean , the bar code readings can be sent to my php program
using the function
trim(fgets(STDIN));
using the above function which is used for handle key board inputs
or is there any other built in functions to be used.

how 'bout you use a form (HTML <form >) to submit to the php page?

then grab it like $_POST['fieldName'].

Are you running this from the commandline? or is this a web based program?
