I just ordered a CueCat from eBay to play with reading Barcodes. Of
course we'll use a Symbol or some other reader when we implement this
in production, but I thought this would be a start. There are several
classes at phpclasses.org
(http://www.google.com/custom?q=barcode&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=ISO-8859-1&c2coff=1&client=pub-2951707118576741&cof=FORID:1%3BL:http://files.phpclasses.org/graphics/googlesearch.jpg%3BLH:50%3BLW:256%3BGL:1%3BBGC:A3C5CC%3BT:%23000000%3BLC:%230000ff%3BVLC:%23663399%3BALC:%230000ff%3BGALT:%23663399%3BGFNT:%230000ff%3BGIMP:%230000ff%3BDIV:%23222222%3BLBGC:A3C5CC%3BAH:center%3BS:http://www.phpclasses.org/search.html%3B&domains=www.phpclasses.org&sitesearch=www.phpclasses.org&start=10&sa=N)
for generating barcodes. At this point I'm assuming a form with a text
field with onchange="this.form.submit();" would handle reading the
barcode and submitting it. I'm assuming we would need to have all our
barcodes in a single format (codabar, code39, etc). Would I then need
to store barcode data. The barcodes will be generated from unique part
numbers so I'm thinking I can generate them (and compare them to
input) on the fly.
