Hi,

I am new to this subject so I must mention if there is anything behind my logic of implementation then please feel free to advise me.

What I am basically trying to implement is that I want to keep record of available DVD's in my store. This application is web based and it's much like an inventory system management.

I am using PHP and MySQL, I am generating a random string which is alphanumeric.

Now what I am trying to do is, I am trying to create an image or whatever it is will give me the bar code of this randomly generated string.

now how can I create this bar code image to take a print out of it once it is stored and stick it into my DVD. I will like an theoretical explanation first.

If anyone is willing to help considering me as a child developer then I will be really pleased.

Thank You. :-)

Solution 1

Get a copy of one of the free barcode libraries or fonts that will produce readable barcodes for you; Google knows where they are.

Solution 3

You can download a barcode font here. Whatever string you will pass to this font will automatically get converted to barcode.

Start programming! If you do not know where to start then you really need to do some research into the tools you are planning to use. Check out the associated documentation, use Google, etc.

Perhaps this will help you. http://www.phpclasses.org/package/2176-PHP-Web-interface-to-generate-barcode-images.html . The only thing is, you will need to login to download the zip file.
