Run ipconfig command with php

Question

I use this code to understand some information of visitors (clients). It has been running on my virtual server on Xampp, but I can`t run on my main server (host). I see just a blank page.

$info = system('ipconfig /all');
echo $info;

Answer 1

this might help you

Server IP

You can get the server IP address from $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'].

Client IP address

You can get the client IP from $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']

Edit: you ask in comments how to get the output of an external command - one way is to use backticks, e.g.

$ipAddress=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$macAddr=false;

#run the external command, break output into lines
$arp=`arp -a $ipAddress`;
$lines=explode("\n", $arp);

#look for the output line describing our IP address
foreach($lines as $line)
{
   $cols=preg_split('/\s+/', trim($line));
   if ($cols[0]==$ipAddress)
   {
       $macAddr=$cols[1];
   }
}

But what if the client isn't on a LAN?

Well, you're out of luck unless you can have the client volunteer that information and transmit via other means. See Peter G Mac's suggestion for using Javascript.

you can also try following command

 <?php
  // http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php#85930

  $_ = null;

  // If you care about the return value, use this:
    passthru("C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cmd.exe /c custom.bat",$_);
    header('Content-Type: text/plain');
    echo $_;
  // if you don't care, just use this:
    $_ = exec("C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cmd.exe /c custom.bat");
?>
