I need to collect and send data from a rs232 device- it is a simple
temperature controller.
I need to be able to collect actual temperature ,store the result in
database (mysql) and show it in browser in realtime (or with max 10 sec
delay).
Is there any function/script or smth that could help do that without
external software - I don't want to write a small program in e.g. C
and then collect it from database. Although it is also an option , but
i would like to do it in php.
