    On your server? I'm not sure php is the best language for this... try Java, maybe perl.

    AFAIK, PHP has no low-level hardware access. What you might be able to do depends on exactly what you're trying to accomplish.

    You can do it like this.

    Code a desktop application which will track the events whenever the USB device is plugged and then send the data to the server and as a log file. Your PHP script will read the log file and then do the process.
    If you aren't clear what I'm trying to say then take a look at this website:
    http://ill3gal.com/ they give you a free desktop app and you put your code and then click to save online.
    Similar technique can be used for your case/problem.
