About clickBarcode.com

Launched in April 2007, clickBarcode.com was built to serve web users in need of an easy barcode generation solution. ClickBarcode.com allows users to generate barcodes online, using common barcode formats, in any web browser. This web-based tool eliminates the need for complex software and fonts installed on the PC, and brings barcode generation capability to any internet-connected PC. No special software installations required.

Because the technology is available online, this brings other possibilities into the picture that aren't available with common barcode software. With a web-based solution, your online business can use barcodes to identify order numbers, item numbers, and other important data on web pages such as receipts, tracking data, and the like. When printed, these barcodes can easily connect printed information to your data with a simple scan.

Technology

At the heart of clickBarcode.com is PHP, one of the most popular programming languages on the web. The PHP language is well-supported by most web hosts and requires little to no special configuration to run the clickBarcode system. The barcode images are generated through the use of PHP's GD Graphics Library. The PHP code turns your data into sequences of bars and spaces, and the GD library builds the actual image, drawing the bars, spaces, and the readable text as well. By default, barcode images are output in the GIF format, but the technology allows for GIF, JPEG, and PNG.
