You can't get that kind of information through the browser --- security imfrictions --- the info the browser can deliver is limited to resolutions, screen dimensions (in pixels), usernames, IPs, browser versions, installed plugins ... and stuff like that ... You can't get hardware info without either a plugin to the browser, or a seperate program that sends the info to the server for storage, where it can be retrieved by PHP... or other server-side stuff... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
