Finding a computer's name

[ahmedtheking]

Is it possible, maybe not through PHP but let's find out, to find a computer's name? By name, I'm referring to its 'subnet name'. (Yeah I understand the meaning of subnet, but is there a way, maybe through JavaScript?)

The online manual shows this should work:

<?php
$hostname = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
echo $hostname;
?>

Let me know.

it is possible with ActiveX and low browser security settings...

On internet it might not be possible to fetch exact computer name however on intranet try this

<?php

echo php_uname('n');

?>

// php_uname — Returns information about the operating system PHP is running on

That is from the manual.
