Reading barcode from webcam in PHP web application

Want to add following feature to my web application: To decode barcodes generated by this script . with webcam and use values in PHP web application.

Is that possible? if yes how?

Solution

  • Not with PHP, seeing as it is server side. But, you could accomplish this with java, javascript, or some other client side languages.

    javascript (jQuery) webcam plugin

    EDIT -- how this would be done is to take the picture with javascript, and then send it back to the server to decode by PHP.
