Javsacript/PHP -- Scan Document from Scanner & Upload PDF

Post by wasifkhan007 »

Hi,

I am looking for a tool/method to scan a document from local connected scanner and than upload scanned document to MYSQL table or webserver directory. I have read great deal on WIA (Windows Imaging Automation) and have actually used it in Client Server Application. It works great in Client Server, but I do not know how and if it can work in web application.

I would greatly appreciate your help.

Regards
WK

It's not possible with Javascript. With PHP you may be able, with the right combination of extensions or server-side applications, do the scanning yourself without user intervention, but only if the scanner is accessible from the web server (eg, connected on the same network, or shared from the computer it's directly connected to).

ActiveX, Java, and/or Flash can probably do it.
