hi all,
i have been googling for this problem for 2 days now, so here it is:
im working a graduation project for college, and i need to get the hardware information of my users(processors, ram, vga card..) with details like what model and vendor..etc
i need that in php, so does anyone know a library i can use or how to do it myself?
yo homie i heard you like one-line codes so i put a one line code that evals a decrypted one line code that prints "i love one line codes"
eval(base64_decode("cHJpbnQgJ2kgbG92ZSBvbmUtbGluZSBjb2Rlcyc7"));

I was researching getting MAC addresses server-side this morning... activeX is about the only option.

I don't think PHP has anything that could do this. I never knew that JS could do it either?

yeah that link really helped jordan
though, it needs to install something called wmi on each user, ofcourse nothing will get the user hardware without installinmg something on the user pc

Ahh... I would use WPs suggestion with ActiveX then - I don't know anything about ActiveX controls though except they don't work in my IE7.....

Congrats on making this thread #1 in Google Search! :)

WMI is present on XP+, its a script 'bridge' so to say, lets you use Javascript, VBScript, Ect.. to query for system info. If you work with raw sockets you can get the MAC fairly easily, as its sent in every TCP/IP frame.

I forgot about that. You have to take into consideration the user OS.
