Writing the code is going to be up to you. If you have problems we will be glad to help.

Check CPAN for Net::Domain and Net::Mac

Hi Kevin,
I have written some code , which gives me IP address as well as Host name , but not the MAC address.I am not sure , how can i Get the MAC address of particular IP address using PHP..
My code is ,
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <?php
  2. <?php
  3. echo "IP Address Is : ";
  4. echo $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']; // Show IP
  5.  
  6. $ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
  7.  
  8. echo " Host Name : ";
  9. echo gethostbyaddr($ip);
  10. $mac = returnMacAddress();
  11. function returnMacAddress() {
  12.  
  13. // Get the arp executable path
  14. $location = `which arp`;
  15. // Execute the arp command and store the output in $arpTable
  16. $arpTable = `$location`;
  17. // Split the output so every line is an entry of the $arpSplitted array
  18. $arpSplitted = split("\n",$arpTable);
  19. // Get the remote ip address (the ip address of the client, the browser)
  20.  
  21. $remoteIp = $ip;
  22. foreach ($arpSplitted as $value) {
  23. // Split every arp line, this is done in case the format of the arp
  24. // command output is a bit different than expected
  25. $valueSplitted = split(" ",$value);
  26. foreach ($valueSplitted as $spLine) {
  27. if (preg_match("/$remoteIp/",$spLine)) {
  28. $ipFound = true;
  29. }
  30. // The ip address has been found, now rescan all the string
  31. // to get the mac address
  32. if ($ipFound) {
  33. // Rescan all the string, in case the mac address, in the string
  34. // returned by arp, comes before the ip address
  35. // (you know, Murphy's laws)
  36. reset($valueSplitted);
  37. foreach ($valueSplitted as $spLine) {
  38. if (preg_match("/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f][:-]".
  39. "[0-9a-f][0-9a-f][:-]".
  40. "[0-9a-f][0-9a-f][:-]".
  41. "[0-9a-f][0-9a-f][:-]".
  42. "[0-9a-f][0-9a-f][:-]".
  43. "[0-9a-f][0-9a-f]/i",$spLine)) {
  44. return $spLine;
  45. }
  46. }
  47. }
  48. $ipFound = false;
  49. }
  50. }
  51. return false;
  52. }

I don't know any PHP and if you prefer PHP I can move your post to the PHP forum. If you want to use perl the checkout the links I provided and then it should be a piece of cake.
