I needed a bar code for items I am sending customers and this needed to be based on a unique reference. My insisted requirement was it had to be readable by as damn it all scanners on the market. I need to have this code printed on all documents and packages that link the item to customer as part of a realistic audit trail… (They look good along side customes delivery addresss's too *lol*)
Somebody might find this useful, so here is the code = Copy past into notepad and save as barcode.php –
Code: Select all

Okay, so what are you looking at --
$barcode = [required] The barcode you want to generate
$type = (default=0) It's 0 for Code 3 of 9 (the only one supported)
$width = (default=160) Width of image in pixels. The image MUST be wide enough to handle the length of the given value. The default
value will probably be able to display about 6 digits. If you get an error message, make it wider!
$height = (default=80) Height of image in pixels
$format = (default=jpeg) Can be "jpeg", "png", or "gif"
$quality = (default=100) For JPEG only: ranges from 0-100
$text = (default=1) 0 to disable text below barcode, >=1 to enable
Now to use the barcode itself -
If you actually intend to print the barcodes and scan them with a scanner, I highly recommend choosing JPEG with a quality of 100. Most browsers can't seem to print a PNG without mangling it beyond recognition. Which by todays standard, is pants !!
This is how the basic barcode is used as a command line..
<IMG SRC="barcode.php?barcode=1166A&quality=75"> <= Default size, but quality setting
<IMG SRC="barcode.php?barcode=1166A-TAN&width=320&height=90"> <= You can alter the size of the bar code
Embedding this you now need to identify the ISC variable that will be the ‘input’ for the command line. In my example I have hard wired the input as 1166A. But the methord of parsing a value is simeple enough -
<?php
$BarCodeInput = "1166A";
If using only numbers as input use
<?php $BarCodeInput = '11668';
$BarCodeInput = “1166A-TAN”; <= If input uses letters and numbers
?>
Now modtfy the barcode command line to read –
<IMG SRC="barcode.php?barcode=<?php echo $BarCodeInput;?>&quality=100">
Having established the barcode script and ‘sort of’ explained how it works. Let’s now use it within ISC.
In this example, we shall append the top right, but empty space of the packing_slip_print.html script. Or if you wish, the invoice_email.html (?)
Firstly, if we take from within the html some of the GLOBAL variables used here. In my example, the Order ID and Order Date are being used. This is (for us) a quick, clean to look at, search reference.
So locate the line %%GLOBAL_HeaderLogo%% and place our line above -
<td width="272">
<IMG SRC="%%GLOBAL_ShopPath%%/barcode/barcode.php?barcode=%%GLOBAL_OrderId%%-%%GLOBAL_OrderDate%%&width=350&height=90"><br/>
</tr>
</table>
%%GLOBAL_HeaderLogo%%
Now to view the result of this mod/addin - Admin > Orders > View Orders > Action (see drop down right side of customers order)
