satya61229 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I also do not know and also suspect there may be any. On Linux/unix system you may run the linux command though. Look for that.

.josh Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 If you mean "show the user their computer's specs"... $_SERVER has a few things gleaned from the client request to the server that might be helpful like browser, OS, but you won't be able to get things like RAM, HDD space, etc... and even what you can get can easily be spoofed. So the short answer is no, you can't do that with php. You would need to make and have the user download and run something on their computer (like a java applet or activeX control) that can access that sort of stuff.
