Hi, all,

I'm looking to program a front-end for a project I have coming up. I need to
be able to swipe a card, look at the info on there already, input new info,
and write it. Finally, all the info going thru the reader/writer needs to be
stored in a (sql?) database.

The specs on the project are like this:
The front-end needs to scan & ocr a driver's licence (I think Reynolds &
Reynolds has some hardware/software that will do this). This information
will go into a form.

Next, the owner of the card will draw a playing card at random. User inputs
this card - rank & suit - into the same form.

Finally, the user will click "write" and swipe the card, thus encoding DL
information and which playing card was drawn onto the mag stripe card.

5 playing cards total will be drawn, meaning 2 swipes are neccesary each
time a card is chosen -- one swipe to populate the form, and another swipe
to write the new information (eg. which playing card was just chosen) onto
the mag card. The subsequent writes must be non-destructive, or at least
have the appearance of being non-destructive by keeping what is already on
the card.

Additionally, all of this information must be exported to a database.

Any ideas or sugguestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
Domenic
