I'm building a website on computer spare part store so I need to collect customer computer's hardware info like RAM type,motherboard type ,processor ,PCI,SCSI etc So how can I collect those info using php script and most of the computers are customized and not branded.and want to give recommendation on gathered info how to upgrade their computers.

So I do not need any code help I've seen a PHP class to gather some computer's data yet those not enough.Is it possible to do this and help me to find good guide or recommendation.

eg: I want to collect RAM details and check whether there is any free RAM slot and what kind RAM would be compatible with.

Nope it's not possible. PHP is serverside, and Javascript doesn't have the power/capability to do this.

You could use Flash, I think, I'm not sure however if it's good enough to be able to retrieve computer data like that though either...

The way I'd do it would be to let your customers download a little C# application that will get their data and post it back to your server, simple enough to make and seems like the quickest solution to me

What you want (need) to do is setup a file upload script that tells visitors of your website to go to:

Start > Run > dxdiag
Save All Information
Save file as a .XML file (dxdiag has this support built-in).

You can then write a PHP script to pull the .XML file from the server and use functions to pull data between the certain < > </ > XML tags.

dxdiag doesn't provide more details like RAM type and speed and available slot is it possible to use javascript ora java applet or waht about c# APP?
