Hi there,
slightly complex issue and would be grateful for some advice!
I run apache/Php on win 32.
I need to somehow capture a stream of DATA from the serial port (57600,N,8,1).
The stream is continuous and I would like to have control when to start and when to stop.
Somebody suggested using exec() to run a command line to start a program which will capture the data in a text file, but how would I be able to stop this program VIA php? The stream is continuous and the process of capturing DATA will never in theory end unless I somehow stop the external program using php or some other way!
Does anyone have an idea how to have a controlled way of capturing data via the serial port?
Your help will be grately appreciated
Regards
J
