Get Connection Speed
Posted: Tue May 01, 2007 9:11 pm
Is there a way in PHP to retrieve the user (visitor) connection speed like "dial-up" or "broadband" or maybe in the form of 56k or 1mb?
Thanks.

In this forum there already is a Speed testing Script. You can use it.

Thank You very much.
No, I did not. Why? Because it is not done via PHP, but by relying on Javascript. Which may very well be turned off, not to mention your timing may be way off. Again, unreliable.neel_basu wrote:Sorry You missed the last post on viewtopic.php?t=61261&start=45

PHP cannot in this case.kingconnections wrote:I think what feyd, is trying to get at is that php is a server side script. All items are executed on the server and displayed in the client. No execution takes place on the client side of this script.
In order for correct download speed to be measured you would have to use a client side processing language ie java, or java script.feyd wrote:It doesn't matter if it's server independent, it does matter whether you are testing the connection versus data pushing power however.Something that's done from the client side (or interacts with it) likely offers a more accurate solution set.
And Now Whatever We will do in cliant side may be turned off by the user weather its Flash or Javascript or Java Appleat.This Topic wrote:feyd wrote:but by relying on Javascript.
