Php Show Computer Info?

**JACOBKELL** · March 27, 2005

Is it possible to show client computer info like cpu,memory,directx version and similar?

**matrix0978** · March 27, 2005

i believe there isnt a way im sorry. I think the closest you could get is there IP and what browser there using to look at your website. Oh and to show what OS they have

It is possible to show your own CPU info, RAM used/free/total using a program called Coolmon. However, all of the info gets put into an XML file which has to be parsed using PHP anyway. You might want to ask sven how to do this since I've seen him do it.

Not sure if this is what you want, though.

There is a way to find out certain things by connecting to the WMI of the local machine, but you do need the admin access to the computer that you are using. I hope this atricle helps. I was looking for something of the same fashion and was able to query the local registry for the bios version. Here is some code to get a few things. But the following code does not connect to WMI, just registry reading.

<html>

<title>PHP Registry test...</title>

<body>

<?php

$shell = new COM("WScript.Shell") or die("Requires Windows Scripting Host");

$pack="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\CSDVersion";

$key="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\SystemBiosDate";

$address="192.168.1.100";

$lash="\\";

$t = $shell->RegRead($key);

print "BIOS date:$t<br/>\n";

$r = $shell->RegRead($pack);

print "Service Pack:$r<br/>\n";

echo $lash.$lash.$address.$lash.$pack;

?>

</body>

</html>

i have been able to do it with php 4 or something. i cant anymore.... its written on the coolmon website, but the script they give you doesn't work, its been outdated. and the one another person gave will only say teh first 3 lines (well, thats with my data). you will have to learn how to parse xml in php, im still looking for a guide.

This may seem a little extreme, but I just grabbed all the basics, and put it into a simple vbs script for you. it is attached below. It is not the most elegent, but it will show you how to do all this. Then if you want to have it available from the web, just write a simple cgi script that call this, graps the output and drops it in a html file.

remember not to just run this from prompt you want to run it as

cscript first.vbs

otherwise you will get 100+ popup windows.

I made this becuase I grab all this info, run it througha special algorythim and then that it how i generate install keys for one of my products. Guarantees that the key is unique.

for some reason I cant add an attahment so here is the complete code. It will allow you to get just about anything that you want.

Sorry it is so big, just wanted you to have everything.

**Pointer1** · March 31, 2005

Now I would like to see how to do all of that in php

**purewaveform** · April 1, 2005

you dont have to, just have php capture the output from running that command.

you can use http://us2.php.net/shell_exec to capture the output from that command. Then just drop it in a <pre> and your are set. BUT remember this is not server side. this has to be run from the CLIENT. Pointer1 showed about all you can get from the server. the rest has to be run from the client. If you want, you could always write an applet, or activex control, that could query the registry, that way you could get all the information that you wanted.
