iarp Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hey, I'm no good at writing programs, and would have no idea where to start. So i'm wondering, can PHP get computer MAC addresses or serial/model numbers?

DarkWater Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 It's certainly not sent in a standard HTTP request, so I'd think not.

aximbigfan Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hi DarkWater, I think what he means is if you are running PHP, is there a predefined variable for the local computer's MAC or asset number. I can say that the asset number is a definite "no", without a special plugin. For the MAC address, I'm not exactly sure. I would hazard to say no, but honistly PHP is constantly surprising me with all the obscure stuff it has built in. For example, I had no iea PHP had low-level socket functions.

discomatt Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 If there's a command-line syntax that will return a MAC address, then a definite yes Here's another thread on this with some solutions http://forums.devarticles.com/general-programming-help-4/how-can-i-find-out-the-user-mac-address-1846.html Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/122821-can-php-get-mac-addresses-or-serial-numbers/#findComment-634312 Share on other sites More sharing options...
