awank Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Hi, I am currently doing project to develop web application (using PHP) to communicate with Environtmental Radiatin detector (EFRD) via RS232. Can somebody help me, how PHP can request to EFRD and retrieve response from EFRD via RS232? any example code or project? Thanks for your help Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/64492-help-how-php-can-communicate-with-hardware-via-rs232/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultrus Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Hello Awank, I'm just starting to tinker with serial ports in Python (also new to the Python language). I know that communicating with RS232 is not possible through php alone. You will need to install an extension or COM related program on a Windows machine. A google search brought up this extension that works on a Windows based server: http://www.easyvitools.com/phpserial/index.html . I'm not sure what it will take to get it working on a Linux machine if that is needed. Sounds like a fun project. I hope it works out!
