Php Serial Port Communication Linux Distributions
Join Stack Overflow to learn, share knowledge, and build your career. On Linux, all serial ports are driven the same way. Only their device nodes are changing to reflect the port type: i.MX processor internal ports.

I have installed xampp in fedora 13.I am trying to communicate with microcontroller through serial port using php serial class.My code is example.php
The php script gets executed but gives the following warnings .
Warning: Specified serial port is not valid in /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/php_serial.class.php on line 147Warning: Unable to set the baud rate : the device is either not set or opened in /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/php_serial.class.php on line 241Warning: Unable to set parity : the device is either not set or opened in /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/php_serial.class.php on line 295
.. I have used the command : chmod 0777 /dev/ttyUSB0 to give permissions . I have also tried to add the apache user 'prudhvi' to the dialout group by using command : $ usermod -a -G dialout prudhvi
But it doesnt work . When I send a command directly from the terminal using the command : echo 1 > /dev/ttyUSB0 it works and '1' is transmitted to the serial port . But using php I get the above warnings .
I have used the '$whoami' to check name of user and added that user 'prudhvi' to the dialout group . It still doesnt work . Please help me guys.

I did this once with Debian to control an Arduino board with a PHP script and initially ran into the same problem.
Hp system management wbem drivers. Program details. Or, you can uninstall HP Insight Management WBEM Providers for Windows Server 2003/2008 from your computer by using the Add/Remove Program feature in the Window's Control Panel.
In Debian, you need to add the Apache user to the dialout group in order to allow it to make serial connection requests. I would assume the same is true for Fedora.
In Debian the command is:
However I believe Fedora names the Apache user as apache instead. I don't have a Fedora machine to test on, but I would assume the command you need to run is:
You will then need to restart your xampp server.

Could you post the lines near / related to '/opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/php_serial.class.php on line 147'?
I suspect that you are trying to set the device incorrectly (as Marc indicated). Either that or the port is already in use from other testing you are conducting at the same time. I'm not sure if the script you are running provides errors specific to ports you are trying to attach to already being in use.
First test a hello world type php script to testyour basic installation.
Then verify the web server / php engine is running as a user which is in a group allowed to access the applicable /dev/ttyWHATEVER device file corresponding to the serial port. It would be surprising if that were true by default - you'll probably have to add it to the 'dialout' or similar group.
Add some fault checking / reporting to your code.

I believe that calling $serial->deviceSet('/dev/ttyUSB0'); will fix it, but you may have to modify the source of php_serial.class.php to work on /dev/ttyUSB instead of /dev/ttyS.
