MAC Address

[systech44]

Hello,

 

Please let me know what is the wrong with the following lines of code. I am trying to find the MAC Address of the user who is logging. When I am running the code in localhost it is working. But the same code is not working when I upload it in the server.

 

<?php
function getMac(){
exec("ipconfig /all", $output);
foreach($output as $line){
if (preg_match("/(.*)Physical Address(.*)/", $line)){
$mac = $line;
$mac = str_replace("Physical Address. . . . . . . . . :","",$mac);
}
}
return $mac;
}

$mac = getMac();
$mac = trim($mac);
echo $mac;
?>

 

Please help. Thanks a lot in advance.

 

Regards & Thanks.

I'm not totally sure, but from what I can see is the logic behind your script that php runs on the client side, which is doesn't.

 

If something happens that you don't expect it to, echo everything all the way, to see where it all goes wrong.

The code displayed is working properly in the localhost. But the code is not working from the server. The server is the linux version. I upload the same script in the server. Now I am trying to see the mac of my PC. I do not found it. My question is, 'Is there a way to get client's MAC address who is accessing the website?'. Please help.

Is there a way to get client's MAC address who is accessing the website?

 

No. All you can access via php (which runs on the server) is whatever the client sends you.
