Scanner uploads to web form
Posted: Fri Mar 18, 2011 6:34 pm
Okay, I have been working on a project for a while that basically collects attendance info from couples. I built this "checkin program" on a portable server (Xampp) and use a portable browser with it. I walk up to the computer plug in my flash drive and name tag printer and I am ready to go. It checks the couples into the seminar and prints a name tag for them.
Here is my wishful design for the future. I want to be able to scan the couples ID's and have them upload into the form that I use to upload their info to the Mysql data base located on the flash drive. I want it to basically use any scanner that is currently hooked to the host computer that I take over for the seminar. This would be great for future checkin of the couple, as they could be id from there pic when they come to checkin.
Currently I am just having a brain fog as to where to start. I am very highly skilled with php, and java. I am just looking for some theory on the subject. Just some brain storming to help motivate me to try and get it done.
