Eiolon Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I am looking to make my inventory system remotely grab PC info on the network such as the processor, OS, RAM, etc. Can PHP do this or is there something else I would need to use?

kenrbnsn Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 That gets information about the server. I believe the OP is asking for information about the remote computer,i.e. the users PC. To get that information, something has to executed on the PC and the information can be sent back to the PHP script via AJAX.

I have seen various web based inventory products do this so I thought it could be pulled off with out executing something on each client. Thanks.

kenrbnsn Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Here's an article on how to use Javasript to get information about the hardware it's running on.
