Access Computer devices with php-gtk

Hello is it possible to access computer devices with php-gtk? i want to create a simple ePOS system to process orders on a Linux or Windows based computer till system. it will be a standard computer with a cash draw, a barcode reader, a Receipt Printer and a credit card machine.

can i possibly get data from the barcode and credit card machine then also send a message to the cashdraw to open and printer to print a receipt on sale complete with php-gtk. if i can't do it with pure php can i use another language as a proxy between the device and php to pass the variables into and out from the php-gtk application?

if i cant natively communicate with devices could i then use the php-java-brige and create a small java program to act as the proxy between the devices and php-gtk?

your advice and input on this would be very grateful thank you.
