[PHP-WIN] Re: Calling Windows DLL Files From: Todd Williamsen (todd <email protected>)
Date: 07/10/02

Yes, I would make sure that they use IE as a browser...

Now things become complicated, and I don't know what PHP's limitations are

What he wants...

1. to be able to press a button to scan a document
2. that scanned document gets automatically saved in a new or existing
folder by patient ID#

Is this possible?
