Get Machine ID with Php

[kenthan]

Can anyone tell me how to get the machine ID with php? Machine ID means for hardisk serial or volumn or Processor ID.

It's not something that is passed in the HTTP headers as far as I know so I don't think you'd easily be able to get it via PHP.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, kenthan!

My guess is you are trying to identify unique computers? If so, there are a few threads around here that you may want to take a look at:

can anyway I can use command line to view the machine ID and pass it to php?

Sure, you can use the command line using the Program Execution Functions [us.php.net]. This will work on the local server, though. Are you talking about your visitors ID or your own?
