PHP [Linux Servers] Operating System and Processor Installed

[Hustle]

Hi,

Below are a few lines of PHP code I've used before on linux servers and thought I should share on here , a small contribution to the BetterPHP Community but every contribution however big or small helps .

How to find out the processor that's installed in a linux server.

<?php
$proc = (explode(":",shell_exec("cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep \"model name\"")));
echo "<b>Processor:</b>$proc[1]";
?>

Result on my local linux server:

Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) II P320 Dual-Core Processor

How to find out the operating system that's installed on a linux server.

<?php
$serveros = (explode(":",shell_exec("lsb_release -d")));
echo "<b>Operating System:</b>$serveros[1]";
?>

Result on my local linux server:

Operating System: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS

Enjoy , I hope this will be useful to others.

lsb_release -d

Didn't know about that !

Thanks for sharing

P.S. I think that the smaller contributions in the code section will be more useful

Worth noting:

cat /proc/meminfo | grep "MemTotal"

shows the memory info

time command

shows how long a command takes
