i have been googling around wether PHP can handle to print a receipt and kick the cash drawer through a web server?
i read about PHP-GTK2, but it seems cant handle trhough a web server, only for desktop use or standalong apps. is there anyway or sample code or links would be appriciated, please!
You’re talking about a browser-based POS? The question should be more along the lines of “can I control the drawer/printer from a browser”. PHP’s involvement with this process would be to generate the page attempting to control either device. PHP will never execute on the client-side, so can’t do anything about the hardware. You’d need Javascript or some other API in the browser to talk to the hardware.
