Get The Mac Address of The System Using PHP

Get The Mac Address of The System Using PHP This is Get the MAC (Media Access Control) address of a system using php. We are having 2 separate code. One for Windows and other for Linux.

Media Access Control

On Windows Machine

ob_start();

system('ipconfig /all'); 

$mycom=ob_get_contents(); // Capture the output into a variable

ob_clean(); 

$findme = "Physical";

$pos = strpos($mycom, $findme);

$macp=substr($mycom,($pos+36),17);

echo "The mac id of this system is :".$macp;

On Linux Machine

It is very easy in Linux, Just run the ip addr command and grep for ‘link/ether’. Then use awk to pring the 2nd variable.

<?php

echo "The mac id of this system is :";

system("/sbin/ip addr|/bin/grep link/ether | /bin/awk '{print $2}'"); 

?>
