PHP and registry key

Post by mikeeeeeeey »

Morning all, hope you've all had a good weekend.

Does anyone know anything about PHP and the Registry key local to a computer? I'm building an intranet at the moment, and I could do with dragging details (such as login IDs, applications, system req. etc.) from the registry, and I don't know where to start.

I know you can do it, but if someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great.

Thanks in advance, as usual :wink:

If you are after the server's registry then this should be possible. If after the client machine's (where the browser is based) registry I very much doubt if you can get it. If you can, it is a security nightmare.

thanks for the class ryuuka, I've checked it out and after translating some of it (the author is French!) I can't really work out what's going on at all.
