Hey there,
Could anyone kindly help me out please, I’m having a bit of problems finding the answer to this. I program in PHP but also VC++ and VB where necessary. I’m looking to find out if it’s possible to connect PHP (or VC++/VB, but PHP would be better) to Sage Line 50, and if it requires a developer version of Sage Line 50 or can be used with a regular version of it.
If it’s possible, what is the best way to go about it? Is using a Windows application (VB/VC++) that in turn connects to PHP the best, or is there a way to directly use PHP. Would PHP be insecure for this, as it would have to connect to an openly accessible database server on the computer running Sage Line 50?
On another note – what’s the easiest and cheapest way to implement a basic bar-code reader on Windows? What’s the cheapest hardware available to do this? I wouldn’t have a clue where to start on this, and it’s only an idea so if it’s too expensive not to worry!
Thanks for any help!
