I'm currently doing a simple project using a Raspberry Pi. I have a simple Apache 2 server running, with MySQL and few PHP/HTML pages. One of the pages is the one below call barcode.php. On the barcode.php you enter a User_ID on the user_id field and press enter or press the find button and it will search in the database for that user and display that user information and picture.
All of the above works manually and even with a barcode scanner by scanning a QR code. Now, I want to integrate an RFID reader (RFID READER RC522). When the user scans his/her card on the reader I want it to work like the barcode scanner and input the numeric code in the user_id field and press enter so the page can return the user data.
I'm very new to this. How can I implement this into my barcode.php? Where a user scans, and it will put it on the user_id field.
Here's the barcode.php:
<?php
// Initialize the variables
$user_id = "";
$osha = "";
$firstname = "";
$lastname = "";
$company = "";
$trade = "";
$email = "";
$picture = "";
$reg_date = "";
// PHP code to search data in a MySQL database and set it in input text
if(isset($_POST['search']))
{
// Connect to MySQL
$dbc = mysqli_connect("127.0.0.1", "root", "1234", "demodb");
// id to search
$user_id = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['user_id']);
$query = "SELECT * FROM Users WHERE user_id = '$user_id' LIMIT 1";
$rs = mysqli_query($dbc, $query);
if (mysqli_num_rows($rs) == 1)
{
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($rs);
$osha = $row['osha'];
$firstname = $row['firstname'];
$lastname = $row['lastname'];
$company = $row['company'];
$trade = $row['trade'];
$email = $row['email'];
$picture = $row['picture'];
$reg_date = $row['reg_date'];
$query1 = "INSERT INTO scan (user_id, osha, firstname, lastname, company, trade, email, picture) VALUES (" .
"'" . $user_id . "'," .
"'" . mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $osha ) . "', " .
"'" . mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $firstname) . "', " .
"'" . mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $lastname ) . "', " .
"'" . mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $company ) . "', " .
"'" . mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $trade ) . "', " .
"'" . mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $email ) . "', " .
"'" . mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $picture ) . "')";
mysqli_query($dbc, $query1);
}
else
{
echo "Undefined ID";
}
}
?>

Here's the simple Python script called Read.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import SimpleMFRC522
import MFRC522
import signal
continue_reading = True
reader = SimpleMFRC522.SimpleMFRC522()
def end_read(signal,frame):
print "Ctrl+C captured, ending read."
continue_reading = False
GPIO.cleanup()
signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, end_read)
MIFAREReader = MFRC522.MFRC522()
while continue_reading:
id, text = reader.read()
print(id)
print(text)
On the terminal, when scanning a card it returns the following data:
pi@raspberrypi:/var/www/html/app/RFID/SPI-Py/MFRC522-python $ sudo python Read1.py
140248588882
I want to send that numeric data (140248588882) to the user_id field in my barcode.php page. How can I accomplish this?
