I am getting the client's (website user's) IP address. Now I'd like to go one step further by knowing the user's computer name. So far, my research has not turned up anything to aid me in retrieving this information.
Is it possible to use the user's IP address, or some other means, to get my visitor's computer name using PHP?

The client names consist of a prefix, or root name, plus a dash and a number assigned by the server. For example, if the root name is charlie, the client names are charlie-1, charlie-2, charlie-3, and so on. By default, generated client names begin with the name of the DHCP server that manages them.
Or client could open commandprompt and type "hostname" and hit enter. Or Start > Run > (Winkey+R) type: "cmd.exe /k hostname" and hit enter.
