I used this at work last summer:
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2441.html
It had 2 bugs which I fixed and posted the fixed codes @ forum:
http://phpclasses.mkdata.net/discuss/package/2441/
After that I could produce code 128 C barcodes to bills that worked in Finnish banks.

Well, I modified that script to suit my purposes too. It didn't look what I was looking for before I ripped of everything other than the actual barcode from the output. But the main thing is that the actual encoding process calculated right results (after finding and fixing the couple bugs).

And of course the scripts doesn't work if you haven't got the needed graphic libraries.

What i meant was, the phpclasses work just fine but none of them have support for EAN128C.. and its a bit out of my league to add one.

EAN 128 C uses Code 128 C encoding which is supported in the script I pasted above. The script includes the start character and function code (FNC1) automatically if I remember right so all you have to do is to hardcode that the first character in the data field is fixed as proper Application Identifier.
Check more info from here.

Here is also the Code 128 barcode table which might come handy:
