PHP integrate with RFID & GPS device

Post by yemz87 »

How to code to get data from RFID module and GPS module?
RFID = to read the details of the tag either it was tag in or out.
GPS module = to get a longitude and latitude of the rfid tag

generally, this is either done by an external program that stores the data in a database for php to read or through a shell program that can be called directly. if you're using php for mobile applications (which you shouldn't, but anyway), there may be some custom PHP functions that you can use (never used PHP for app programming myself).

you could start with letting us know what you're actually trying to do. right now, I can't recommend anything because it totally depends on what you're trying to achieve.

ok. actually I wanted to build a tracking system. But right now I'm using ASP.NET. My friend said that PHP is better and easy to connect with RFID.
What I wanted to know is, : coding to connect with RFID, and with the GPS to get latitude and longitude of the RFID tag.
