This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
The php solution can be easily adapted to any decent scripting language, but this still wouldn't give you CLIENT details, just server details.

This is a security setting made by the ISP and as such there is no work around using PHP. You could try using Perl (no idea what to code), but I suspect Perl has a similar mechanism on restrictions.

If it is the client's you want, then you will have to either ask them very nicely to enter it into a form or construct a java or activex app to get them (and there may be limits as to what you can get hold of).
Client side JS cannot access this info.
