Use can use the server variable called REMOTE_ADDR to get the IP address in PHP

PHP Code:


			
echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

*   Md. Nazmul Basher
*/
 ob_start();    // Turn on output buffering
system(&#8217;ipconfig /all’);  //Execute external program to display output
$mycom=ob_get_contents(); // Capture the output into a variable
ob_clean();  // Clean (erase) the output buffer
 $findme   = &#8220;Physical”;
$pmac = strpos($mycom, $findme); // Find the position of Physical text
$mac=substr($mycom,($pmac+36),17); // Get Physical Address
 echo $mac;

Try it and share your experience

Another method is using javascript
But that only works in IE by the help of ActiveX Objects

In a word - no. The best you can do is their IP Address as shown by anees.
You could use the ActiveX control suggested, but that would probably not be too popular on a public website.
