Windows Read Serial Support

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

Hi,

I have got windows to read from my serial port using the following code in
place of the 'not implemented' comment:

------
        elseif ($this->_os === "windows")
        {
            $content = "";

            if ($count > 0)
            {
                $content = fread($this->_dHandle, $count);
            }

            return $content;
        }
-----

System: Vista 32bit with a Prolific USB to serial adapter cable.

I hope that it is of some help.

Cheers,

David

Why would I make a post saying it works if it didn't? give it a test for your 
hardware it will take all of 20 mins.

As an added bonus I have attached my working version of the class.

Have Fun!

What version of pf PHP is this working on? Will it work running Apache, PHP5.2 
on Windows 7 64Bit?  It works fine to write to the com port but I am still 
unable to read the comp port.

PHP Version 5.3.1 (XAMPP package)

Be worth checking php doco for issues using 'fread' and 64-bit, since the 
change uses it to read the data.

It means if your php/apache is running with sufficient privelege to access your 
windows com ports then you should be able to read from it.

For me, write does work, read doesn't unfortunately. Even with the suggested 
change in code..

@davi.ro...@gmail.com
I don't think it is reading anything. I looked (and tested) your file. function 
readPort has $count=0. When it moves down to if statement for windows, it will 
skip if ($count>0), hence, $content is always blank.

And if you pass a variable other than 0 for count, your version does no better 
than the original buggy php_serial.class.php

Kindly correct me if i am wrong. I can't get the damn thing to work (reading 
port).

@Jaspreet
If you were able to read from the port, could you please give me your version 
of php_serial.class.php along with any test code your wrote. 

Any help appreciated guys

Hi,

I am trying something similar :  Arduino is printing some values in the COM15, 
i am trying to retrieve it and display on the web page. 
Using Xampp on windows 8 32bit machine.

I tried with your php_serial.class.php file too. All i get is a blank page. 
What could be the error ?
