Is there any way to get the PC name (hostname) in PHP on Linux server hosting? The shell_exec function is not working.
I am using this code:
$a = shell_exec('ipconfig/all');
echo $a;

2To be clear, the name of the **server** machine, or the name of the **client** machine viewing the site through the browser? The only reason I ask is because you've tagged this question with jQuery - which implies client-side logic – Rory McCrossan Feb 14 '20 at 12:05

apparently its possible using ActiveX, but that means IE only, and IE isn't even a browser, its a browser selection and download tool lmao. anyway here it is if you are interested https://programming.vip/docs/three-methods-for-js-to-obtain-client-ip-address-mac-and-host-name.html – delboy1978uk Feb 14 '20 at 12:11
