Reading USB data
Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2011 4:54 am
I have a computer (XP) with Apache and php.
Connected to this pc with a USB cable I have a machine that is sending chip numbers and time data into the USB cable. This machine is taking income times for competitions (running, cycling, cross country skiing).
A MySQL database is holding the information about chip numbers, competitors and starting time.
I maintain competitors with web pages and php scripts. Result list shall be made with this system.
I want a script to receive the info from the USB cable and insert the info into a table in my MySQL database.
1. How do I get my php script to receive the info from the USB cable?
