Why? PHP provides all requisite functions/features so if someone was
sadistic enough and talented enough there's nothing to stop them writing

Sure, but then the scanning device would have to be connected to the

the server and then have PHP read and interpret the stream as it
arrives. See how complex this is becoming?
