RE: [PHP] Hardware Detection
I misread the OP.
No. you can't get information on the hardware of a CLIENT's machine via PHP.
You may be able to do it through some JS or I'm pretty sure through some
ActiveX control (on Microsoft brosers of course).
We make an appliance that "phones home" for updates and such, and therefore
we have the luxury of a PHP crontab script that sends this information back
to us. To us, they are "clients" -- different definition of client than the
OP though. ;-)

Re: [PHP] Hardware Detection
Assuming that you are running a web app then, I concour with Richard. If however you are talking about a client in a more traditional sense, in that you have a specific client application, then that client application could get the computers hard disk, in the same way as any other application could. In Linux, they can simply parse files like /proc/cpuinfo, or something like that. Why exactly do you want to do this?

[PHP] Hardware Address
Hello all, I am working on a LAN application and am interested in obtaining the user's network card address to limit usage of the program. Is there a way to do this in PHP? I am on a network that uses DHCP so using the IP address probably wont work and I am also worried about IP spoofing.

Hi, this is kinda a broad question i have been asked to host a website that recieves a high access rate i dont have exact numbers but does anyone here run a big site with php mysql and if so what are your stats os, and hardware i dont want to underestimate in the hardware department but i also dont want overkill Thanks Patrick -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
