i've made a bbs with php
now i would like to make access log for it.
access log would contain one's pc information (pc name ) & browser information.
browser information could be easily retrieved using java script..
how about pc information?
any clue to this?
can it be done by java script? or PHP?

It's better to use PHP, bacause you can store this log in a database or even in a disk
Good luck to you

It may not be possible to get certain OS, screen, and browser details immediately on the server-side. You'll be relying on the request headers, which can be modified / spoofed, and might not carry certain information.

Getting this information client-side is also unreliable, but in a different way.
