Hi,I have got windows to read from my serial port using the following code inplace of the 'not implemented' comment:------elseif ($this->_os === "windows"){        $content = "";if ($count > 0){$content = fread($this->_dHandle, $count);}return $content;}-----System: Vista 32bit with a Prolific USB to serial adapter cable.I hope that it is of some help.Cheers,David

Why would I make a post saying it works if it didn't? give it a test for your hardware it will take all of 20 mins.As an added bonus I have attached my working version of the class.Have Fun!

What version of pf PHP is this working on? Will it work running Apache, PHP5.2 on Windows 7 64Bit?  It works fine to write to the com port but I am still unable to read the comp port. 

Comment 6 by [e-mail], Nov 19, 2011

PHP Version 5.3.1 (XAMPP package)Be worth checking php doco for issues using 'fread' and 64-bit, since the change uses it to read the data.

so it mean that if i use XAMPP package then i can read the data from COM port in my windows? please give me some advices, and thank in advance.

It means if your php/apache is running with sufficient privelege to access your windows com ports then you should be able to read from it.

For me, write does work, read doesn't unfortunately. Even with the suggested change in code..
