I'm trying to get some hardware information from some users, not personal information, just like.. what processor they are running, video card etc... if this is possible, could someone please point me in the right direction? thanks.

Yeah, it's possible. Just ask your users via poll.

If they are windows machines that you wanna poll for info then use Windows Managment Instrumentation. This is a rather well kept secret. I wrote an application using this in C++ and VB. Not sure if you could write it in PHP. Although there was talk of COM around here somewhere.
WMI lets you extract absolutely any information you want as long as you have permission. Is rather cool.

To make it simple, why not ask them and store the info via database or textfile?
