PHP is a server-side scripting language - you're trying to achieve something on the client side.

This would be pushing PHP far beyond its usual strengths.

However, if you do want to persue it, you will want to use socket programming libraries (for the scanner access), and you will need something like Priado Blender, to turn your php script into an executible.

This is extremely challenging, and is almost definitely not something you want to try to do if you are relatively new to php.
