Create Barcodes

You don't. That would be unnecessarily hard!

Pear is all PHP, and the client machine won't need to install any software

the barcode i scanned for you in your other post is not Code 128, it's EAN128. those two barcodes are completely different.

How do you know there different, does it tell you?
If so, how does it tell you?

If you had looked at one of the other 3 threads you made, you would see that he ran it through his barcode reader.

please do not start multiple threads on the same topic

How do I create scannable Bar Codes, Using PHP, CSS, and 1 x 1 Pixel Images, for the black and white bars?

Example Bar Code: http://www.freewebs.com/ticstacs/Barcode.bmp

the barcode scanner i have at work has mode that tells you the type of barcode when you scan it. i printed the barcode you posted earlier and scanned it.

no matter how many times you ask this same question, you're going to get the same answer: look at one of the pre-built barcode classes and write your code based on that. if you ask again, i'm going to ask that the thread be locked and all future threads you start on the subject be deleted.

we're here to help you learn how to program, and help you through the rough spots, not do the whole thing for you. if that's what you're looking for, start a post in the "looking to hire" forum and pay someone to do it.

My Appologies, only I don't seem to be getting anywhere.
How do I get hold of these classes?

Read this http://pear.php.net/manual/en/introduction.php
it will explain everything.

or simply download the gzip file for image_barcode and look at the php file. ignoring all the class stuff, image_barcode is a fairly simple piece of code.

If you don't want to download the package you can look at the online documentation http://pear.php.net/package/Image_Barcode/docs/latest/
-> Files, to choose a file, then
-> Filesource, to see the source code
If you want to have an "image" made up of smaller 1px images, you could use the PEAR package code to write your "convert number to bits" code, and then use those bits to determine which 1px image to use.
Nothing personal, I myself have "re-invented the wheel" just for the fun of the learning experience, but I would not count on others on being so keen on it. It's more of a solo adventure.
