Capturing a signature as an image within a webpage

[limepickle]

I am hoping that someone out there will be able to help.

From within my pocketpc web application, I require a signature to be written on the screen and captured as an image. This then has to be put into a database for strorage. I do not require any digital encryption or authorisation etc, it just needs to be real simple.

Eg. User opens webpage, user signs screen and submits the signature. Job done.

That is what I am trying to achieve. Has anyone ever seen this or done it? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Note I have seen some apps but they are to be used within a .NET environment, and seeing as I am developing in php they are no good to me.

Many thanks.

I think you must to develop an application that you embed into PocketIE. Something like AciveX on a desktop. This application grab the image and send to your PHP application.
I can't help in this way.

Another tipp:
There is Macromedia Flash Player avaible for PocketIE. I don't know, that Flash can make an image and post it to a PHP script, but it can grab the stylus strokes, and send the line's coordinates to your PHP program. (With a smart ActionScript)


Booth way, your application must to preinstalled in the users pda.
