Hi there,
I've just written a PHP extension that does low-level parallel port access. It's a linux-only extension which supports different access modes: bit-bang mode, poti mode for controlling AD8400 digital potentiometers, motomat mode for controlling a 16-port motor driver board and bus mode for a simple multiplexed 8-bit bus with _RD, _WR and _ALE signals. I might also implement a display mode for driving alphanumeric displays or a servo mode that outputs PWM on eight channels if someone's interested in using it.
I thought about putting this extension into PECL, but as I had to include linux/parport.h and especially linux/ppdev.h I guess you don't want it there.
