Setting up ActiveBarcode for Apache2 and PHP
Using ActiveBarcode to display barcodes on Internet sites with Apache and PHP is very simple. A standard installation of Apache and PHP is usually sufficient.
Additional to Apache and PHP you need the barcode object. If you have installed ActiveBarcode, the barcode object is already installed. The Internet-license must be installed, too. You received instructions on this with your purchase. The trial version does not require a license.
To use the PHP demo, copy the contents of the folder c:\program files (x86)\activebarcode\php\ to a subfolder of the inetpub folder. E.g.: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\php\
Now open open the URL http://localhost/php/.
An example page will open that shows and explains how to create barcodes dynamically.
'barcodeimage.php' is found in c:\program files (x86)\activebarcode\php and must be copied to a folder that is covered by IIS. (E.g. \inetpub\wwwroot\php-activebarcode-demo\)

How to use the barcode object with PHP
The easiest way to create barcodes dynamically is to use 'barcodeimage.php'. It's a wrapper for the barcode object so that you can create barcodes and use them as images in any html page using the HTML img tag.'barcodeimage.php' is found in c:\program files (x86)\activebarcode\php and must be copied to a folder that is covered by IIS. (E.g. \inetpub\wwwroot\php-activebarcode-demo\)
In your html pages you use 'barcodeimage.php' with the img tag:
<img src="barcodeimage.php">
A barcode with default values will be shown:
Example with parameters to create the specifc barcode shown below:
<img src="barcodeimage.php?code=CODE39EXTENDED& text=Hello%20World!&showtext=1&rotate=90& backcolor=002288&forecolor=12345&width=250& height=430&borderwidth=50&borderheight=25">
