javascript has pretty strict permissions when run via the browser itself,
so I would say no. Unless you instruct your user to run the Javascript via
the system itself... but you can't expect that from a simple user.
Besides that, a user can choose to turn off JavaScript, or even make it run
some new JavaScript code specific to that site, with a click of a button in
most modern browsers, and giving the user the ability to completely spoof a
part of your control system is never a good idea ;)

you can't get the mac-address from a remote (client) computer via PHP
because PHP is server-sided (server). The mac-address isn't part of any
sort of standard header the browser sends, thus the server will never see
it. And if the server can't see it, then PHP can't see it either. The
only way to get it would be to run a local script which would pick it up,
and send it over. This however would require something like a JAVA applet
/ application. The mac address is usually hidden away quite well so
people can't get it and start pretending to be someone else. Although the
idea is good, it most likely will not be possible (relativly easily)

Hey,
I've been on this mailing list for quite a while, but i think this is
my
first question. I'm not sure though.
Well here goes.
I'm working at this site that has an MMORPG, a big online game, and we
have
this ban script. it bans the ip for the user and the user acount for an
amount of time. This doesn't seem to be doing its job because people
just
change there ip and make a new user.
I know there isn't any full way to ban some one from a site, but i've
been
think and getting the mac id of a computer would work a lot better then
ip.
I'm not sure how to get teh mac id of a computer though. If any of you
know
how to can you please tell me. It doesn't just have to be with use php
we
own the server can we can installl other apps, but many others are on
the
server anyways.
So how do i get the mac id of a user that is going on to my server?
