Hi,
has enybody a solution for the virtual COM ports in PHP? I'm using COM10 (standard for the Perseus receiver).
$fp = fopen ("COM10:", "r+");
results in :
failed to open stream: No such file or directory .
It does not help to add "\\.\". w+ /rb+/wb+ do not wirk either.
The same problem appears when trying to communicate with virtual COM14 where my GPS is connected via Bluetooth, independently from com0com. COM14 regularly appears in the COM-Port list in the device manager.
The real COM1 does not cause any problems. It's possible to communicate with COM 10 and 14 via a terminal software like hterm without problems.
Would it help to "deceive" the system as suggested in the readme-Q&A? If so, how do I add a serial port with "Add/Remove hardware". I don't find that option. (using XP)
Any help would be appreciated.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Try
"\\\\.\\COM10"
That doesn't work either. Any other ideas?
