PHP and COM

[fnbcprog]

Alright I think that this plan has gone way over my head with the amount of knowledge I have with PHP.

First; I am trying to develop an application with PHP and MySQL on a UNIX server to scan images from a Fujitsu scanner.

What we need to do is figure out a way to connect to the drivers of the scanner and push commands through PHP.

Is there anyway to connect to Windows applications through PHP on a UNIX Server? I think I have read some stuff on ActiveX Controls and JAVA, which can communicate with PHP.

I hope you can help!!

Seeing as how Axtive X controls are object oriented and PHP is not i really don't see how they would work together... But who knows... I wouldn't want to be in your shoes haha, sounds like a nightmare.
