They use active-x, not javascript, and the only way that it can show you
things about your PC is by you explictly agreeing to install the active-x
plugin.
if they use java (not sure if possible), it would also require explicit
permission from the user before any client-side files were sent back to the
server.
quick answer: no, you cannot do this with PHP.
