Well, let me try to explain. I want to program in php read with a MICRImage every checks that the business change everyday. That scan is for read a information of the checks, so I want to program keep the information of the checks and also has the name of the people who has the check and things like that. This is a web page with a systems like that: http://www.scanshell-store.com/software_idscan_chck.htm

that's probably C/C++ software.

PHP wouldn't be my first choice for desktop programs that need to interface with peripheral hardware.

(Is there a reason you're not just buying a ready-made product, like the one you linked to? You're certainly not going to save any money coding this yourself, especially if you need to learn a programming language first.)

Well, the reason it is because I want to learn to do things like that.

As traq suggests, a language designed to work more closely with hardware would be a better choice for working directly with hardware. There are ways to develop desktop PHP applications, but that doesn't get you closer to interfacing with arbitrary hardware (it's also not really a high priority in the PHP community...). Communicating with the hardware also depends crucially on the interface that it provides.

Which lenguage do you think it is going to be good...?

It comes with OCR software: http://www.magtek.com/support/software/ocx/micrimage.asp, most scanners do.

It also comes with a whole lot of SDKs and programming tools for different platforms: http://www.magtek.com/support/software/programming_tools/

It even has a demo on how to capture the data using a web browser: http://www.magtek.com/support/software/demo_programs/check/mini_micr/mini_micr.asp 😃
