1. QR Barcode stores information in those bars, so it can be used for ANY purpose, like lstore link to your app, when someone scans the QR code their phone will download your app, maybe store your contact details on them, maybe store a file like a pdf file, coupon code for discount on sales etc it actually depends on what you need it for.

2. You generate the QR code (with the details you want to store) then place the picture (QR Bar code) on your website, so when users/visitors scans the bar code with their phones (most phones have QR Barcode scanner) their phone will decrypt the barcode and get the information stored (ddownload and app, store a contact, download a file etc)

3. i dont know the technical stuffs about how its being developed but sure they are so many free QR ode generators online e.g http://qrfree.kaywa.com

Thanks a lot adewasco2k, I really appreciate it, but that techical aspect is what I will need most, anyway I will ask them(client) what they need it for and probably generate it for them just as you suggested.

Have a nice night Bro

I once wrote a web application for a client in Greece which is a property listing web app for estate agents. Each property listed on the website has a QR code containing all the information about the property, the cost, the contact details of the agent etc. If this is printed and placed in public places, a person finding a house can easily and quickly scan the code and get all the details. This is a practical use of the QR code.

I created a QR code generating class with a few of PHP's internal functions to handle images. In recent times more powerful classes have been written. Have a look at this: http://phpqrcode.sourceforge.net/

By the way its not logical to call it a barcode (its not made of vertical bars). The full meaning of QR is Quick Response.

Thank very much bro, and for correcting me on the proper name to call it.
