blueman378 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 not really, thats client side stuff, you might be able to get the data with javascript and then send it to php, but php itself cant get the data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Baker Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I reading data from server side.. If php is run on local server.. Possible to get.. Well the USB should mount as just another directory in Unix, or another drive on Windows, so the answer is yes... just using bog-standard file system functions, as long as you know the directory where it mounts.

haku87 Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 I dun get what u mean. Currently, it does not mount on WIndows XP as a drive. It is a input device that read fingerprint and sent the biometric code back to the computer. My problem now is how can i read the data that it input to my computer. It is connected using USB. So how can i read the data that it sent to USB port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
