RE: [PHP] card scanners and PHP
For our retail application (written in PHP) we are looking for a class that will work with a scanner to scan a driver's license or business card and populate the forms properly with that data. I have found a product (IDScan) that may work with PHP, but I was hoping to find others to compare it to. Anyone have or know of anything like this? The ones I have experience with simply emulate keyboard entry, and as such would work with any PHP application where the same data could be entered via keyboard. I believe the ones we used were made by either Symbol or Wasp. JM -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[snip] Do you mean a magnetic stripe reader? Information is scattered all over business cards. [/snip] Most states do not allow access to their mag stripes, and one company that I have found so far uses what is essentially an OCR scanner and a software called IDScan to parse the data. They even claim to be able to scan business cards. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
