phpSysInfo 2.0 - OS/2 Patch
phpSysInfo is a PHP script that displays information about the host being accessed.
This is a patch to make it work with OS/2.

Description
phpSysInfo is a PHP script that displays information about the host being accessed.
It will displays things like Uptime, CPU, Memory, SCSI, IDE, PCI, Ethernet, Floppy, and Video Information.

This is a quick and dirty update to allow phpSysInfo to display information about an OS/2 system.
It only includes changed files and any extra files required for use in OS/2.
The data displayed by phpSysInfo in each section:
- Hostname and IP address are displayed as part of the heading of the page.
- System Vital:
- Cannonical Hostname - retrieved from Apache SERVER_NAME variable
- Listening IP - retrieved from Apache SERVER_ADDR variable
- Kernal Version - result of OS/2 "ver" command
- Uptime - result of running uptime
- Current Usage - "N.A"
- Load Average - "N.A"
- Hardware Information
- Processors - I don't know how to determine the number of processors, so I put: "At Least One"
- Model - determined using cpuid3b.exe
- Chip MHz - I don't know how to determine this, so I'm putting: "N.A."
- Cache Size - determined using cpuid3b.exe
- PCI Devices - again from cpuid3b.exe
- IDE Devices - from "RMVIEW"
- SCSI Devices - from "RMVIEW"
- Network Usage
This displays each network device in the system.
The amount of data sent and received on the device is displayed, along with a count of the errors.
- Memory Usage
- Physical Memory is the amount of memory physically in the PC (using countmem) and the used/free memory as determined using Theseus
- Disk Swap in an analysis of the swapper file. It displays how much of the allocated SWAPPER.DAT is used.
The memory used, free and swapped memory figures are calculated using a supplied Rexx script and Theseus.
- Mounted Filesystems is the result of running df.
It will display:
- All local fixed drives
- Mapped network drives
- Any CD drive with a CD in it.
Other empty removable drives will probably not be listed either (I can't test).

The following are the files included in this package:
| Readme.OS2
| That file you didn't read

|
| cpuid.dat
| Modified cpuid.dat file from cpuident.zip
|
| phpSysInfo.cmd
| Wrapper for Rexx utilities and other programs that need some sort of manipulation that I can't do with PHP.
determine the used, free and swapped memory details
|
| phpSysInfo2.html
| This file
|
| index.php
| Modified version of the index.php from phpSysInfo.

Installation
Installation is reasonably easy, especially if all the requirements are already installed.
Here's the steps:
- Install Apache/2 or other OS/2 web server that will do PHP.
- Install PHP for you web server
- Install the standard phpSysInfo package
- Replace the following phpSysInfo files with the ones supplied in this package:
- index.php
- include\common_functions.php
- Put class.OS2.inc.php into the include\os directory
- Put the rest of the contents of this package into the same directory as the phpSysInfo package
- Make sure that the following DLLs and executables are available.
The DLLs should either be in the phpSysinfo directory or a directory on the LIBPATH.
Similarly, the executables should be in the phpSysinfo directory or a directory on the PATH.
- Make sure the following files are available. It is probably simplest if you put these in the phpSysInfo directory.
- Start a browser, and point it at
http://your_hostname/your_phpSysInfo_directory/index.php.
- Boast to the world about your system!
The following are problems that I know of:
- If the CD drive is empty, the info displayed is the same as for the previous drive.
- SCSI devices aren't listed.
I don't have any, so I haven't done this.
If someone sends me the output, of RMVIEW, I can try and add it.
Or, tell me of a better way to get it, and, sample output of whatever tool
-
The list of CPUs in cpuident.zip is out of date.
I have added a couple of newer CPUs, but, it's a pain to get the details from the Intel documentation.
I'll add more as I have time.
If you want your CPU listed, either add it yourself and send me the update, or, tell me what it is and I'll add it.
