I am in the process of developing a web application in PHP, which should communicate with a USB storage device connected with a client machine and read some files. If any of you have done this before, can you please share your experience and ideas. Thanks for your time.

PHP cannot connect to a USB device. The only way I know of to do that over the web would be with a Java applet. If you just need to get a file off of a USB flash drive, you can use PHP uploading, where the user selects the file on the device he wants to upload.
