I've written an entire Warehouse Management System using PHP that utilizes barcoding extensively. We use zebra printers and various barcode reading wands (usually USB connected) with wedges. Most of these wands allow you to set a postfix code to send after it sends the wanded data. I just set this to <CR><LF> and that allows for easy wanding into webpages that are specially designed to accept this type of input.Hello!
Sorry if this is off topic. I'm making a php site where one can order a kit and now I would like to mark the kits with bar codes generated by the php script. I would also need some kind of bar code hardware reader and some way for a computer to read the result from the bar code reader, guess php might not work here so I might create some java application or whatever.
I've never done anything like this before, do you know of any good starting points? I don't know anything about bar codes.

The Zebra printers use a language called ZPL. We created our basic label templates using ZPL and use PHP to fill out the template and send it on to the cups server (which handles sending the data to the Zebra printer).
Good Luck, this will be a fun project!
