Card Reader PHP Style?

Post by gavillena »

We want to impement a card reader using ORGA MCT 5000. Anyone has ever attempted to create a PHP application with it or any card reader?

The web site for ORGA didn't seem to be much help. Do you have an SDK or something similar for this card? Does ORGA provide one? Give us some more detail about it.

Cheers,

OK.. I've already done an application for the card reader, but it is in Visual C++ because the SDK is in C++. Now the problem is to convert it use it in PHP. I've come across this two articles:

http://www.devnewz.com/2002/0909.html

any view on this?

Thanks.

It seems impractical for a PHP web-app to use a card reader, so I'd love to know what you're doing. I'm no use to you though ;)

well... because we're developing in PHP because it's free :D We're going to produce a kiosk for a loyalty program in an intranet environment. Hmm.. any suggestions on how to implement my C++ program on PHP? Somebody said to me that passing parameters would do the job but I don't know how to do it... :cry:
