php code that can read fingerprint.

Post by ugwu benjamin »

Is it possible to write php code that can read fingerprint through a web form and send
it to a receiving database? If possible how?

PHP is run server-side, so there's no way PHP itself can read input directly from the user. It would be possible, however, to have a fingerprint reader that converts a fingerprint into some arbitrary number. If the reader is set up to provide input to a webpage (as in, it's acting like a keyboard), then once you submit the form, you can get that fingerprint information.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
