Scan computer (clientside)

Post by Guldstrand »

Is there a way with php to scan a computer (clientside) for installed programs?
I have seen this on different driversites and others.

(I have a own server with Mandriva linux.)

EDIT: I have read something about ActiveX, but that´s only for windows.
Is there a good/easy way to do this with linux?

No.

You need something like Java or Flash to do it.

Yes, i think that maybe java is the best solution.
Is there any examples or guides about this?
