new --- a question

Hi!!!

i have a hardware device which have to be connected to the PC by the
serial port... So, i have to do an application to recive the data from
that device....

the question is.... Can i do that - the comunication between the device
and the PC - using a PHP web application ???? How??? Using the Socket
functions???

Thanks!!!!

RE: new --- a question

If you device is available via a com port, then using file IO is probably
best, but if that is not enough try;

This goes without saying, the very real potential for hacking a computer
with device exposure via a web interface can be disasterous, so caviat
emptor ;-)

My application will be a internal application and usually is going to be
use by not to much people... i want to do a web application because of
the simplicity for the users...
