    Workstation Name

    I am working on an internal site that needs to grab the workstation name in a form that can be passed.

    Is this possible?
    I have it set up that x.js runs and the data comes up in a popup.
    I have no idea how to pass that data. Maybe I'm going down the wrong path.

    Pls help

    the x.js

    var WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network");
    WScript.echo ("Computer Name = " + WshNetwork.ComputerName);

    well, it depends. what do you want to do with this information?

    by the way, this ought to be somewhere in the javascript forum.

        Actually, passing info would be in serverside, particularly MySQL forum or PHP

        Firstly, you are using WSH, (windows scripting host) which can pose a threat to most users, and might be switched off. I assume if you're getting computer name, then its over a corporate internet/intranet so i guess that's a little better

        TO do that, here's some code. It utilises PHP and a MySQL Database called info. THe code is fly-typed, so may contain a couple of errors!

        PHP Code:
        <?
        if(!$submit)
        {
        ?>
        <html>
        ..
        ..
        <form name="form" method="post" action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>">
        <input type="text" name="compname"> Computer Name
        <input type="submit" name="submit">
        </form>
        ..
        ..
        </html>
        <?
        }
        else
        {
        //submit to database
        //for this example we'l use database name "info" and table "user"

        //first we connect to database

        $connect = mysql_connect('localhost','username','password');
        mysql_select_db("info",$connect);
        $result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO user(compname) VALUES('$compname')");

        if(        $result)
        {
        echo         "Submitted data. Thanks";
        }
        else
        {
        echo         "An error occured: ".mysql_error();
        }

        ?>
        Hope that sheds some light
