How can I get the MAC and the IP address of a connected client in PHP?

Question

I need to know the MAC and the IP address of the connect clients, how can I do this in PHP?

Answer 1

// Turn on output buffering  
ob_start();  

//Get the ipconfig details using system commond  
system('ipconfig /all');  

// Capture the output into a variable  
$mycomsys=ob_get_contents();  

// Clean (erase) the output buffer  
ob_clean();  

$find_mac = "Physical"; 
//find the "Physical" & Find the position of Physical text  

$pmac = strpos($mycomsys, $find_mac);  
// Get Physical Address  

$macaddress=substr($mycomsys,($pmac+36),17);  
//Display Mac Address  

echo $macaddress;  

This works for me on Windows, as ipconfig /all is Windows system command.
