Find Windows 32 or 64 bit using PHP

Question

Is it possible to get the window processor bit?? I want to find the window processor bit using php?? I have coding to find the operating system and other properties. Kindly

Answer 1

If you have the COM extension installed (in php.ini) you can call the windows WMI service.

(Remember though that you event if you have a 64-bit processor, 64-bit OS and 64-bit PHP, your integers are still going to be 32-bit due to a limitation in x64-PHP on Windows.)

Anyway...

To check the OS:

function getOsArchitecture() {
    $wmi = new COM('winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}//./root/cimv2');
    $wmi = $obj->ExecQuery('SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem');
    if (!is_object($wmi)) {
        throw new Exception('No access to WMI. Please enable DCOM in php.ini and allow the current user to access the WMI DCOM object.');
    }
    foreach($wmi as $os) {
        return $os->OSArchitecture;
    }
    return "Unknown";
}

or, check the physical processor:

function getProcessorArchitecture() {
    $wmi = new COM('winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}//./root/cimv2');

    if (!is_object($wmi)) {
        throw new Exception('No access to WMI. Please enable DCOM in php.ini and allow the current user to access the WMI DCOM object.');
    }
    foreach($wmi->ExecQuery("SELECT Architecture FROM Win32_Processor") as $cpu) {
        # only need to check the first one (if there is more than one cpu at all)
        switch($cpu->Architecture) {
            case 0:
                return "x86";
            case 1:
                return "MIPS";
            case 2:
                return "Alpha";
            case 3:
                return "PowerPC";
            case 6:
                return "Itanium-based system";
            case 9:
                return "x64";
        }
    }
    return "Unknown";
}
