information of the computer

Dear PHP users,

Is there any possibillity to get any computer information with the help of PHP, for example a computer serial number?
If yes, can someone give use source code?

Nice regards,

Michelle.

PHP does not have any builtin functions to do that. You could, I suppose, invoke external applications to do it.

Keep in mind that you can't even do this from a PHP script running on a website, as PHP runs only on the server.

TANSTAAFL!!

Based on your other posts, I'm assuming you mean that you want to determine computer info from a client accessing PHP through a web server. In short, 'no'. PHP is working on your server so it can only make calls to your server's operating system and return info about the server.

If you describe the reason you want to know about your clients' computers, another option may become apparent.
