Im working on a personal project and need to get information from some (not all) of the fields moved into a different order and then take that info and have it converted into a QR Barcode or any other standard barcode). I have downloaded the phpbarcode from sourceforge but adding it to the form is seriously confusing and getting the output from Form Tools is even more of a pain. Any ideas or has someone already made something that will do this?

Interesting question! So what kind of data do you need to pull from the FormTools database for that to work?

Simple data that is added to the form such as name, id number, area, etc.

Alex, I am interested. I have little or no knowledge of the files that would need to be modified or the methods used to build the system. I will look at the API files and see if there is something there that I can add or change to get the info I need and add the barcode to them. Any other ideas or advice you are willing to pass on, I am more than willing to accept.

Luckily if you use the API functions you won't need to modify any files, but you will need a bit of PHP knowledge to build the new page that displays the data.
If you get stuck, PM me and I can help out. :-)

Thought I would let you know I just bypassed the bar code and forwarded the info straight to google with a command line and a link. I couldnt get the phpbarcode to accept it as easily.
