Re: [PHP] Bar codes
Under the GD Image Functions within the PHP Help file (on php.net) there is an example for barcodes. It also refers to barcodeisland.com which may be of use to you.

I have been using this lib for quite some time.

You will have to either set register globals to on or you will have to
make a work around.
I added this to the top of image.php and it works fine:
foreach ($_REQUEST as $k => $v) {$$k = $v;}
Bascially all you will need to do is make a link to the
image.php?params=params and then you can print it out or do whatever
with it.
Hope it helps!

Hi, I've never used bar codes before. And now I need to print out bar codes, and I've been told it should be in the format K39 Normal (I could have misunderstood since I can't find that on google.

Regards Emil 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 and that allows for easy wanding into webpages that are specially designed to accept this type of input. 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! James Hicks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You then want to be able to scan the barcode, when you ship it for instance, back into the application. For this you will need a TTF barcode font (available on the web for free), a barcode scanner (check out Symbol, and Wasp), and a label printer. There are many, relatively inexpensive, barcode reader solutions that simply plug into a USB port, or go between your keyboard and your computer. Scans data in just as if you had typed it.

This might be an overly simple solution for your needs (depending on which kind of barcodes you need), but you can cheat with this: http://www.barcodesinc.com/generator/index.php Hope it helps.

[PHP] Bar Codes
Hi, I'm developing a php application to display and print discount coupons, with a barcode in them, my problem is the server where php is, doesn't have gd compiled with the ttf option it does have the t1, this is the first time I'm developing this kind of application using php and I'm not sure which font I should upload to the server (it must be free) and if there is one. BTW this application will run under PostNuke CMS. Thanks Rick -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
