How I can capture Data from attendance machine

Question

I have developed an online leave management system in PHP, MySQL, which is working fine, I have only one issue, we have to upload a csv file of daily captured data. I want to do it automatically.

We have a Star Link Attendance machine.

Star Link software dose not provide any custom report format.

I want to develop an application module which can fetch data from this machine? Is it possible? and in which language we can do it (PHP, C#, Java) ?

Any resource link will be very helpful.

Answer 1

I have solved this problem.

All data fetched by machine are stored in mssql database, I simply developed a programme in C# .Net which takes the data from mssql and export it in CSV file.

Answer 2

Try this It uses the UDP protocol to communicate to the Attendance Machine. And this for Python

Answer 3

I like Java, but every language is okay, if it has lib- to parse CSV file. you may using FTP,HTTP to get that file.
