Is it possible to learn detailed information about the user's OS via php (for example, the OS product code), to find out the characteristics of the processor, video card? The $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] does not provide enough information.

  • Apparently the question should sound something like this: Is it possible from a php script to request the browser information about the computer's configuration ? What comes down to the question: Is there an available JS browser function that returns information about the computer configuration ? I suspect that browser developers, guided by security considerations, do not provide such interfaces. - avp

No, this can not be done! I think you are not so good at imagining what a web server is, if you ask such questions, but you need forums for this =) You cannot do it firstly because the PHP code is NOT executed on the user's computer (cap =)), but on the server where your site lies, and the server is usually only one, and it can be anywhere ...

    With php definitely not, but VBS can help.
