First, the REAL code here is the hard work of Stefan Powell,I have only modified it to be useable in a production environment. Notice, please test the actual barcode and let me know how it scans onscreen.

REQUIRED: GD compiled into PHP.

Features:

o No fonts needed. This creates barcodes on the fly, drawing them with gd.
o Amazingly fast and versatile. Specify the characters to convert to barcode ON THE FLY!
o Cool backup feature-If for some reason the operator can't get the barcode to scan, they hang their pointer over the barcode and the 'alt' feature displays the characters to enter in manually.

NOTE1: IMPORTANT! THE PROGRAM THAT DISPLAYS THIS PAGE KEEPS PUTTING AN EXTRA " AFTER THE DOLLAR SIGN ON THE '"Z"=> "011010000", " "=> "011000100", "$"=> "010101000",' LINE. YOU *MUST* REMOVE THIS WHEN YOU COPY/PASTE THE CODE!

NOTE2: having just one extra blank line in code2 will make it puke. Put NO blank lines at the beginning.


code1(i.e. index.phtml)
<?php
   
function  barcode($text)  {
       
$enc_text  urlencode($text);
        echo 
"<img  src=\"barcode.phtml?$enc_text\"  border=0 Alt=\"$text\">";
    }
?>
<HTML>
<BODY  bgcolor=white>
<?barcode( "steven  boger");?>
</BODY>
</HTML>


code2(i.e. barcode.phtml) - just a few small mods to Stefan's code
<?php
$text 
implode($argv, "  ");
   
$barcodeheight=40;
   
$barcodethinwidth=2;
   
$barcodethickwidth=$barcodethinwidth*3;

Some newer php versions use the GD library with Png, and need these
lines changed in barcode.phtml:

Header( "Content-type:  image/gif"); 
ImageGif($im);

to:

Header( "Content-type:  image/png"); 
ImagePng($im);
