Is it possible to read/access the bar-code scanner values using PHP & MySQL?

Question

I am trying to enable a PHP website to recognize barcode input.

I will load a web page in a browser, the focus (cursor) is set to recieve input into the text box.

Answer 1

This is not a programming question per se. Bar code scanners work just like a keyboard, they input the digits scanned.

The easiest way is to just create a form with a textbox and then post it and handle it with your PHP code
