Inventory Tracking - Barcode Generator

Inventory Tracking - Barcode Generator was created by joelstad
Hello -
So far the support has been amazing so I thought I would ask one more question. Hikashop is great for ordering but I still need another system for inventory management. Because I don't use Hikashop to sell products, I've heavily modified a few things to work best with what we're using it for.
Attached is a screenshot of what my invoices look like. I need the item number and the quantity only so everything else was removed.
To enter this order into the inventory management system, I have to sit and 10 key it all in. It doesn't take long but if there were bar codes there instead, it would make entering the the orders really fast; they could just be scanned in. First the item and then the quantity; the inventory management system moves on automatically. The attached invoice only has 3 items on it but I could have some long lists to enter.
I'll start the project anyway but has anyone already tried adding bar codes to your invoices? Maybe it's an idea for future Hikashop releases?
I'll probably use this bar code generator and modify it: www.barcodephp.com/download.php

I'm very close to getting this working but I need a hand.
What I have is a custom invoice with the item, the quantity requested and the item code. I want to generate a bar code under the quantity and under the item code.
Here is an example of the system working to generate one single bar code:
[Removed]
I need to dynamically create these bar codes. The image place holder is showing up but the image of the bar code itself is not.
Here is what I changed on invoice.php
Does anyone have any ideas?

<?php

foreach($this->order->products as $product){
?>
<tr class="row<?php echo $k;?>">
<td>
<?php echo $product->order_product_name;?>
</td>
<td>
<div align="center"><?php echo $product->order_product_quantity;?><br />
<?php
//session_start();
$_SESSION['bdata'] = $product->order_product_quantity;
echo "<img src='barcode.php?Genrate=Submit&file=&type=png'>";
?></div>
</td>
<?php if($this->invoice_type=='full'){?>
<td>
<div align="center"><?php echo $product->order_product_code;?></div>
</td>
<?php } ?>
<td align="center">
</td>
</tr>
<?php
$k=1-$k;
}
?>
Does anyone have any ideas?

It appears that the code I put in may not be showing up correctly. I tried three browsers and go three different results.
Attached is an image of the code I added to invoice.php.
Thanks!
