Laravel ZKTeco Integration

Overview

The Laravel ZKTeco package provides an easy way to integrate ZKTeco biometric devices with your Laravel application. This package simplifies the process of connecting to ZKTeco devices, fetching attendance logs, and managing user data.

Features

• Easy Integration: Seamlessly connect your Laravel application with ZKTeco biometric devices.
• Attendance Management: Fetch and manage attendance logs from connected devices.
• User Management: Add, update, and remove users on the biometric device directly from your application.
• Real-time Data Sync: Ensure that your application always has the latest attendance data.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require mehedijaman/laravel-zkteco

The package is designed to automatically register itself upon installation.

Please ensure that the PHP sockets extension is enabled on your server. If it is not enabled, you will need to activate it.

Activate PHP Socket

Ensure that the PHP sockets extension is enabled on your server. If it is not enabled, follow these steps to activate it:

Locate the php.ini File: The php.ini file's location depends on your PHP installation. Common locations include:

• /etc/php/8.x/cli/php.ini (for CLI)
• /etc/php/8.x/apache2/php.ini (for Apache)
• /etc/php/8.x/fpm/php.ini (for PHP-FPM)

Edit the php.ini File: Open the php.ini file in a text editor with superuser privileges:

sudo nano /etc/php/7.x/apache2/php.ini

Uncomment the Sockets Extension: Find the following line:

;extension=sockets

Remove the semicolon (;) to uncomment the line:

extension=sockets

Save and Exit: Save the changes and exit the editor (Ctrl + X, Y, Enter).

Restart the Web Server: Restart the web server to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart apache2
