First you check your user agent OS Linux or windows or another. Then Your OS Windows Then this code use:

public function win_os(){ 
    ob_start();
    system('ipconfig-a');
    $mycom=ob_get_contents(); // Capture the output into a variable
    ob_clean(); // Clean (erase) the output buffer
    $findme = "Physical";
    $pmac = strpos($mycom, $findme); // Find the position of Physical text
    $mac=substr($mycom,($pmac+36),17); // Get Physical Address

    return $mac;
   }

And your OS Linux Ubuntu or Linux then this code use:

public function unix_os(){
    ob_start();
    system('ifconfig -a');
    $mycom = ob_get_contents(); // Capture the output into a variable
    ob_clean(); // Clean (erase) the output buffer
    $findme = "Physical";
    //Find the position of Physical text 
    $pmac = strpos($mycom, $findme); 
    $mac = substr($mycom, ($pmac + 37), 18);

    return $mac;
    }
