bdmovies Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Hello, I am trying to access a scanner via PHP. I know that the scanner will have to be installed to the same server that the scripts are sitting on, but I don't really know how to go about this. I'm not sure if TWAIN is the route to take, or maybe some custom form. Any suggestions?

MadTechie Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Options I can think of, [*]Use a command line utility via exec(), system(), shell_exec() [*]maybe send commands directly to the scanner (read the control commands for the scanner) [*]Create a ActiveX/Plug-in, Scanner COM Control [*]Off the shelf Dynamic Web TWAIN Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/172416-php-document-scanning/#findComment-910029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
