phpSysInfo 2.3 - 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.
Contents
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 - from the HOSTNAME environment variable. If this is not available, it is retrieved from Apache SERVER_NAME variable
- Listening IP - retrieved from Apache SERVER_ADDR variable
- Kernel Version - Build level of OS2KRNL
- Distro Name - OS/2 version - result of running "ver"
- Uptime - result of running uptime
- Current Users - "N.A."
- Load Average - threads and processes from running uptime
- 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"
- USB Devices - Currently not displayed.
Note: The IDE, SCSI and USB device sections will only be displayed if the machine has any of them.
- 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).
Package Contents
The package only contains file created for the OS/2 patch, or modified in some way from the original version.
The following are the files included in this package:
| Readme.OS2
| That file you didn't read
|
| COPYING
| Licence file (standard GNU license) - the second 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.
|
| common_functions.php
| Modified version of the common_functions.php from phpSysInfo.
|
| class.OS2.inc.php
| Class file definition for all the OS/2 specific things.
|
| OS2Warp.gif
| "Distribution" icon for OS/2.
|
| phpSysInfo2Test.cmd
| This is Rexx program the runs phpSysInfo.cmd with all possible parameters.
The details are shown on the screen and can be used to debug the info displayed by phpSysInfo.

The following other packages are required to get this working:
Many thanks to the authors or porters of these packages.
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 OS2Warp.gif into the images 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!
Version History
- 0.1.0 - 10/03/2002 - Initial release
- 0.2.0 - 13/03/2002
- Replaced RxNetstat.cmd and GetMemory.cmd with phpSysInfo.cmd.
- Changed version of df being used. Mounted network drives and file system types are now displayed.
- Displaying SCSI details.
- 0.2.1 - 17/03/2002
- Improved code that handled SCSI and IDE devices.
This fixes bug where SCSI devices where being displayed twice - with the SCSI and IDE devices.
- Fixed uptime display when the machine has been up for 10 days or more.
This hasn't been very well tested as my machines aren't staying up at the moment.
I didn't know cats could turn computers off.
- 0.3.0 - 08/07/2002
- Updated to phpSysInfo 2.1
- Host name now comes from HOSTNAME environment variable if this is set.
- Added phpSysInfo2Test.cmd to collect data that is displayed. This is for problem debugging.
- 0.3.1 - 24/07/2002
- Removed a debugging statement (whoops)
- Added six CPUs to CPUID.DAT - Athlons, Durons and PIII Tualatin. Thanks to Thorolf.
- 0.3.2 - 25/11/2002
- class.OS2.inc.php had a reference to RxNetstat.cmd which had been removed from the package.
- Small amount of code cleanup.
- I have a new e-mail address.
- 0.4.0 - 19/05/2004
- 0.5.0 - 01/09/2004
- Updated to phpSysInfo 2.3.
- Better information for "Kernel Version", "Distro Name", "Load Average" and "Cache Size" thanks to code from Biro Timas.
The following are problems that I know of:
-
The list of CPUs in cpuident.zip is not complete.
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.
- USB device is not displayed.
I cannot get the USB information in a manner that I can display.
- Hardware sensor information is not displayed.
None of the machines I have to test phpSysInfo on have motherboard sensors, so I have no way to test this.
I am happy to work with others to display thisinformation.
- I'm not differentiating between versions of OS/2 and eComStation.
This is due to there being no obvious way to differentiate between them.
I also couldn't find a very good icon to use for OS/2.
If you find any bugs, please tell me at the contact address below. Tell me:
- Version of phpSysInfo and the OS/2 patches
- OS/2 Version and fixpack level
- Details of what is displayed incorrectly, and, if possible, output of the program used to display this
- Output from running phpSysInfo2Test.cmd.
- If your machine is visible on the internet, the URL to get to it or a saved copy of the page generated.
If not, save the page as an HTML file and send that.
