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?

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
