[thelist] PHP LPT1 Question

[Tanner Burson]

I've got a little side project I'm working on involving some custom 
hardware plugged into the printer port (LPT1).  In a fit of sheer 
madness I've decided to attempt to write the software for this thing in 
php (yes i know, its nuts). 

Okay now for the real question, is it possible to send single bytes of 
data to the printer port with php?  From my testing thus far i've been 
able to send entire strings, but i don't have the equipment setup to 
test sending a single byte.  Anyone have any thoughts? ideas?
