Hi JAson, I'm leaving tomorrow for CA to do some of the testing and workflow. I'll let you know how it turns out. -- Mike On 5/6/05, Jason Barnett [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mike Smith wrote: On 4/18/05, Eric Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - Original Message - From: Mike Smith I'm using a script to generate the barcodes (3 of 9 or Code39): http://www.sid6581.net/cs/php-scripts/barcode/ This script seems to limit the input barcode to 15 characters... um... -eric woo -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php The sample on the website will display image to small for 16 characters.

Of course we'll use a Symbol or some other reader when we implement this in production, but I thought this would be a start. There are several classes at phpclasses.org (http://www.google.com/custom?q=barcodehl=enlr=ie=UTF-8oe=ISO-8859-1c2coff=1client=pub-2951707118576741cof=FORID:1%3BL:http://files.phpclasses.org/graphics/googlesearch.jpg%3BLH:50%3BLW:256%3BGL:1%3BBGC:A3C5CC%3BT:%2300%3BLC:%23ff%3BVLC:%23663399%3BALC:%23ff%3BGALT:%23663399%3BGFNT:%23ff%3BGIMP:%23ff%3BDIV:%2322%3BLBGC:A3C5CC%3BAH:center%3BS:http://www.phpclasses.org/search.html%3Bdomains=www.phpclasses.orgsitesearch=www.phpclasses.orgstart=10sa=N) for generating barcodes. At this point I'm assuming a form with a text field with onchange=this.form.submit(); would handle reading the barcode and submitting it. I'm assuming we would need to have all our barcodes in a single format (codabar, code39, etc). Would I then need to store barcode data. The barcodes will be generated from unique part numbers so I'm thinking I can generate them (and compare them to input) on the fly. -- Thanks for any help, Mike Smith It turns out it's easier than I was expecting. No voodoo! I got my CueCat (usb version) today, plugged it in (on Linux, haven't tried Windows yet) and scanned a barcode I generated. I tried it at the console. It type out the correct part number and sent a carriage return! I'm using a script to generate the barcodes (3 of 9 or Code39): http://www.sid6581.net/cs/php-scripts/barcode/ Just foreach through an array of part #'s foreach($array AS $val) echo img src=\barcode.php?barcode=$val\\n; //see barcode.php for other GET options There are plenty of other barcode classes and phpclasses.org, but this does what I want. Barcoding doesn't seem quite the mystery I thought it would be. Thanks, Mike -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
