   Hermano con echo
   echo php_uname ( ‘n’);
   obtengo es el nombre del equipo cliente no el remoto. Si tienes la solución mucho sabría agradecerle.

   hey all,

   with using gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']); we can only find the IP address and also if we use php_uname ( ‘n’); we find the server name.
   is there any code to find exactly the name of computer of the web site’s viewer ?
   in PHP or in javascript ?

    Neither gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
    not php_uname();
    is capable of giving you the client’s machine’s IP.

    That is actually not possible (as fa as I think).
    If you can get that info you can put virus strait-away into it.

    There is no way to get client machine ID using PHP as far as i know. if you can do you will be a good hacker.
