[PHP] Configuring printer output for a POS printer --> Admin Configuring Printer Drivers or a Select Driver Menu
Hi, I'm developing a Pizza delivery application which uses printer output, and I want to know which is the better way to format the output to the printer, and how can I design a select printer menu (communicate with printer drivers), so the user can select from a number of POS printers (45 columns ?). Any ideas are welcome: Thank you and Merry Xmas __ Omni ICQ#: 37031810 Current ICQ status: + More ways to contact me __ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Is it possible to do this in PHP ? If it is then, how ?
Marek,
Thanks for your ideas, I was thinking in a complicated scheme using $fp =
fopen ("php://stdin", $hexkeynumber) ...
but I wasn't sure if that is better ...
I think your solution is much neatier ... then I just have to compare the
entered code with an id in the mysql database

Thanks for replying, Now I know it's possible to do it, but I still don't know how can I develop such interface, I will do it in php and mysql, but I need a little guidance with the way to do it I just can't figure out how ...

[PHP] Is it possible to do this in PHP ? If it is then, how ?
Hi, I was wondering if this is possible to in PHP ... I am developing an application for a pizza place, where touch typing interface is much faster than using the mouse, so I was wondering if I can develop an interface with a calculator style keypad, and the codes entered (using something like STDIN in Perl), are automatically compared to the MySQL database to provide realtime feedback to the user, such as code 32 is hawaian pizza, and after the user enters code 32 Hawaian pizza get's displayed as feedback ... and then awaits for some other input such as size, etc... i.e. x- 32 Hawaian pizza14" $ 12 xx xxx Total = Thanks in advance, Ricardo Fitzgerald AXIS Computers Web development __ Omni ICQ#: 37031810 Current ICQ status: + More ways to contact me __ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Application with barcodes
Hi, I am developing a demo of an application which uses barcodes, but I'm running into the following problems: 1. The gd library's compiled with SuSE 7.3 Pro version of PHP 4.06 doesn't support TTF so I have to install Postcript fonts (it does support Type 1), and I really don't know where I should install them and which barcode font is better to use. 2. My application runs under a PostNuke enabled site so I can't just recompile the gd library and php to make TTF available, I'm afraid it will mess up a whole working system ! 3. The barcode will be printed over an image gif ? jpeg ? which ones works better ? Since this my first app with barcode, any advise from seasoned users it's very welcome. 3.

[PHP] php teleprogramming -- How to avoid being ripped off ?
Hi to all fellow collegues, Here is the story, a while ago I've signed an NDA with a company from Los Angeles, the agreement was for programming (PHP, Perl, Java, Javascript), designing and other tasks, and payment was established on a fixed hourly rate, the guy in charge, was very impatient and I had to answer his queries almost instantaneously, besides he just throw in scripts, and pieces of code, that were very badly documented and required intense study, and reverse engineer, one of the tasks was to generate a template from an html code, and the proper scripts, well I had to get acquainted with everything in the server, and to study and understand many scripts, and the database and so forth, the thing is I had to work an average of thirteen hours per day, for a very low hourly rate, but I accepted that conditions, the thing happened when I finished the template and also developed a frontend for a java applet , and delivered it, and he asked me how much I was charging for the job, I calculated the hours and told him because I had to spend too many hours studying everything, I took of f 24 hs. from the fee, well after he received the estimate he didn't answer anything, he didn't pay me, he refused to answer all the emails I send him, trying to explain things out, and telling him if he thinks there were so many hours they can be somewhat balanced with faster future development, and I we can renegotiate, I was really open,offering even to just charge development hours and not study hours, the answer was a complete silence, he just revoked my privileges to the server and that's it, not even a single word. So, I'm asking you fellow programmers, for guidance in a situation like this, I just have to say goodbye and forget it or is there something I can do to get at least something for my efforts ? Thank you all in advance for any assistance. Ricardo Fitzgerald AXIS Computers P.S. Needless to say I'm workless and because of my country economic situation I really don't know when I'm going to work again ... __ Omni ICQ#: 37031810 Current ICQ status: + More ways to contact me __ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
