How to scan a document using PHP - Newbie here!
Hello All,
I would like to know how to scan a document plugged to the visitor computer.
In this regard, the script should be able to detect the scanner on clients PC, scan a document and move it to a specific folder on to the web directory.
Can anyone help me out with this??
Regards,
Noob

PHP can interface with hardware on the server. It generally cannot interface with much on the requesting client. Scanners are rarely networked. It's even rarer still when they are to have them allowed to receive remote requests.
You will need help from an external source that will be loaded on the user's system such as Java.

I am really sorry to trouble you this way Volka...
But the point is that i have been assigned a project where in i need to upload multiple files.
When the user clicks on the browse button, this browse button must open an option for either scanning a document from the Scanner connected to the clients PC or to browse a file and upload.
And the project needs to be submitted tomorrow.
Sorry again and thanks for all the help.
