Recently a friend of mine was want­ing to tin­ker with a ser­ial device on his Power­book. Since he was want­ing to even­tu­ally allow device input over HTTP requests, we went off look­ing for a PHP class to help out. Luck­ily, there was a GPL-​licensed PHP Ser­ial class on php​classes​.org by Remy Sanchez. How­ever, it only works under Linux or Win­dows. A few machine lock-​ups later, we appeared to have it working.

Down­load my mod­i­fied ver­sion of the PHP Ser­ial class here.

Note: There are a few other modified-​for-​OSX ver­sions of this class float­ing around on the inter­webs, but none that I’ve seen enable all of the func­tions that this class offers.
