Talking to USB devices

[Chaunce]

Can php do it? Where could I find examples/reference material?

Any help will be appreciated.

I think you're out of luck. Websites tend not to talk to USB devices. All PHP does is take some code and replace it with readable HTML to be interpreted by browsers. It does some server side stuff but if you want to talk to USB devices, try C, or VB for example.

Well I figured as much.

How about having the php site call my VB script that talks to my USB device and then that script returns data to PHP? Is that more trouble than it's worth?
