I don't think that's possible directly from PHP.
PEAR has a MAC-address validator (Net-MAC), but that doesn't read out your
HWaddr, it just accepts strings.
On linux you could use exec() with a script wrapping the ifconfig command
and grep for HWadd, or use arp. Script probably needs to run suid
On windows you are looking for ipconfig (XP and up), but I think you need
some additional tool to succesfully spawn OS processes and return output.
The name pstools comes to mind. Not sure if that's correct
Why you would want/need to discover the *server's* MAC address
dynamically is beyond me though.
But I bet there are valid uses for it!
