I was wondering if its going to be much work to say implement a bar code on a web page for a product being used
UPC is used in the US for everything, QR are used wildly for mobile users
the idea was to use a web app rather than some windows ware
barcodes

Re: barcodes
Hi,
You can find an open source QR code library here:
http://phpqrcode.sourceforge.net/index.php
There's a form at the bottom of the page that you can use to try out the script, and judging from the code the library doesn't exactly look too taxing to use
You might want to save the image to a static file if the QR code is unlikely to change very often (or at all) in case the overhead of generating the image each time proves too excessive.
There should also be plenty of bar code libraries out there as well, but they're not all free/open source so check first.

Re: barcodes
most recently I created a table for nutrition information that can be adapted to a database down the road
I have considered a database of foods that I can select from, but the data currently is in a jet database which would have to be converted
