juniorobeng Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Hello Everyone, I have a web based application and I need a PHP function that would notify me with the persons MAC address or rather sends an Information(visiting Systems MAC address) to the Server and the server checks with the MAC addresses in the Server database that have been granted access. If the System's MAC address is included, the system is then given access else, the system is rejected.... Reply can be sent to my email.

Alex Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 You can't get the MAC address of a visitor in PHP. You'll have to look into another method of user verification.

ram4nd Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Can do it in local network only. Using command line and arp(ip to mac). I don't think you can even do that by php only.

juniorobeng Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 If it can be done, can someone please post it and possibly an explanation to it. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/205196-getting-a-mac-address/#findComment-1074102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram4nd Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 You still don't get it, do you? You can't. Why would you want that? TCP/IP protocoll doesn't use mac addresses.
