Hi Experts
I was wondering if anybody could tell me how can i get computer name of any visitor of my site.
Getting ip address is simple but this ip address remains changing in case of dynamic ip, so i need to know the computer name of visitor.
Many Thanks in advance.

Through PHP, I don't believe that you can. For security reasons, you can't get much local information, not even through javascript. There are some ways that get around this a bit but I think you will find that they may rely on activex and only work on IE. The standard way to deal with this is to have them login and identify them that way. There aren't a lot of reasons why you need to care what physical location they are running from. If you have that kind of need, then you may need a client program of some sort on their machine.
