Question

I\'m working with an application which connects to Huawei 3G Modem using COM ports in php. Here is my code:

Answer 1

You need to determinate COM port number of your USB device via some external command called trough PHP's shell_exec().

For Windows you can try this small tool:

After you call this tool via shell_exec(), you need to parse it's output (RegExp) and look for exact COM port number based on company/device name.
