Re: Comunications Port Accsess

You could always write your own little app in C++ or VB which you can call using exec() and pass the string to write to the port e.g. exec("cominterface.exe",$command) I'm sure it's possible to create your own PHP extension which would speed things up when using lots of calls to exec(). Maybe you could publish it and it may become part of the standard PHP bundle!
