PHP Barcode Generator Script Overview
This barcode generation product is a server-side PHP script that generates streaming barcodes to the requesting web browser. It is compatible with any operating system, web server, and hosting provider that supports PHP scripts including IIS, Apache, WordPress, and Zend. After the script file is copied to the web server, PHP barcode images are generated on the server in memory and streamed to the client without saving any temp files on the server.

Each barcode type is provided as a single unencrypted PHP file, which provides extremely fast barcode generation with very little overhead. Each PHP barcode script file is provided in pure PHP source code form, so it may be used natively and customized or integrated within any web application. The PHP barcode images generated are simple black and white bit-mapped BMP images (1bpp) and are very small in size compared to JPEG or GIF images; the average generated barcode size is usually less than 2KB.
The following source code example demonstrates a simple method used to create dynamic barcodes within a PHP script:
<p>This web page uses PHP code to create a barcode.</p>
<?php
$BarcodeData = "123456789012";
?>
<p><img src="idautomation-code128.php?Barcode=<?=$BarcodeData;?>"></p>
</body></html>
