A servo hooked up to the deadbolt which is controlled with the parallel port - or at least thats the easiest and simplest method I can think of Smile

Aha, but what triggers the signal to drop or raise the bolt? Smile That's what I meant

You have to log in on a computer outside the door?

lolz. We did consider biometrics at one point, but eventually decided against it.

Well, since the teaser screenshot is php, and php can't [natively] interface with hardware (and if it could, you'd have to run apache and PHP as root, which would be so ridiculously stupid I can't even believe I mentioned the idea), the *only* way is to have it exec a program on the computer. At least, thats the only way if the apache+php server is running on the same computer that is controlling the door

otherwise, you are probably just connecting to a simple socket server on the computer controlling the door and sending the open/close command - and maybe passing along the login info for verification, although having it all be contained on one computer is by far the easiest (and probably the best) solution

Of course, since its accessible via the internet, any wifi enabled device or cell phone with the internet on it is potentially a key, no need for a login terminal at the door

Aha, now you're getting closer, but you're still thinking in too confined a medium.
