Hi all,
I am developping a Web applicaytion with php/mysql.The OS on the server is Windows 2003,and all the clients have Windows XP on their machine,and I have this requirement:
On the client(user) of the Web application,there is a scanner which
is connected to the client machine and when the user puts a document (such as a paper containing text and images) on the surface of the scanner, he can click on a button on a form of the Web application and this click must trigger the scanning process and the file resulting of the scanning must be placed in a folder of the client machine (let's say this folder is D:\Images).
I don't know how I can implement this.
Please , how can I solve this problem?
Thanks you in advance for your answers.

Re: How to lauunch the scanning process?
Cannot be done in PHP. If the users are browsing with IE then you can might be able to use some JavaScript magic or ActiveX control.
This is a job for a client-side application.
