send message to com1

[dkmarsh99]

Hi,

 

I have some code in vba that I use to open a cash drawer. It writes a message to COM1 or LPT1 - depending on what port is specified.

 

I want to know how to do the same function using PHP.

 

 

                w_message = "Open Sessame"
           
                w_freefile = FreeFile
   
                Open w_strportname For Output As #w_freefile
               
                Print #w_freefile, w_message
   
                Close #w_freefile

 

Please help
