-<p>This is the only extension for using <a href="http://www.pcscworkgroup.com/" class="ext">PC/SC</a> based smart cards with <a href="http://www.php.net" class="ext">PHP</a>. It is a wrapper to the wonderful and free project by Ludovic Rousseau, <a href="http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/" class="ext">PCSC-Lite</a>, which is the middleware to access a smart card using SCard API (PC/SC). Since PCSC-Lite is compatible to the winscard API it should be possible to compile this extension using a Windows(R) operating system. Currently I only take focus on Linux environments.</p>

 <p>Thanks are going to Johann Dantant! He provides a PC/SC extension for PHP since 2005 and I reused some of his code. He allowed me to relicense these parts under the terms of the PHP license so I could integrate PCSC-Lite natively into PHP.</p>
