how to get hard disk serial number with php on localhost

hardware, javascript, php

Solution

You can of course use

shell_exec('wmic DISKDRIVE GET SerialNumber 2>&1')

or

shell_exec('wmic bios get serialnumber 2>&1') 

if `wmic` is installed on server and your PHP has permission to run it.

The `'2>&1'` part is used from the suggestion here.

Problem

is there a way i can get hard disk serial number or machine serial number with php or javascript on localhost ?? we can get it with following command in cmd ``` wmic DISKDRIVE GET SerialNumber ``` or machine serial number by this ``` wmic bios get serialnumber ``` is that possible with php or javascript ?? something in php ``` <?php echo DISKDRIVE GET SerialNumber //** some thing like this on local host ?> ``` Need is to give a project to Clint on local host, and i want no one to access it on other computer (in php)
