[DaveShaw]

I am writing a PHP site which wil have many functions, one of which will be to get many of the users personal computer details, I have seen this in done in ASP and SHTML but not in php and I was wonderig if its possible.
The Site

So is

If anyone know how to do this in php i will be very grateful!

You are going to have to use environment variables, and the function, getenv().

For example, if you wanted to find the users IP address, you could do something like this:

[tt]
$ip = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');
[/tt]

You might want to go to

http://www.php.net

and read more about environment variables in the PHP manual.

Hope this helps.

Also, you can use the function phpinfo() to get all of the information you need about your server, but, this will also show you every enivronment variable you have to use.

I don't believe there is one to get the users host though.

Hope this helps.
