Hello.. Good day everybody. I'm Raymonn from Philippines. I'm new here and also a new programmer (newbie.. =( ).. anyway just want to know if it is possible to connect or integrate Web camera to a php module? I'm planning to create a Time and Attendance System for my new company. The flow/concept of the System will be like this...

- The System will run locally.. but in web base application using php.
- Then for the attendance of the employee...
*The employee/s should enter their code in order to have IN / OUT
*And at the same time the PC Camera / Web Camera will Capture their picture (save to db) as a proof that they are the one who enter /
encode their code for attendance.

With this I'm sure of the Security and Integrity of my System.
If possible.. please help me with codes to make it work...
If not.. please suggest what should i do for the security and Integrity of the system.


Sorry for the bad grammar...
Thanks and God bless

sounds like a hack of a solution to me... but if you really wanted to do it I'd use flash in a browser and have it upload to a central server.

Search for "Flash webcam tutorial" to get started.

Just , May i ask why using php ? i think it's easier , more straight forward to use A C#/Mono Application connecting to MySql for the picture issue
