This script any good?

[BrandonTheG]

Hello,

I quickly developed this script today, not sure if it's good for anybody here, but if you ever want to know your CPU info, you can get it from here.

If you run `cat /proc/cpuinfo` you can see all this information, but this is perfect for showing this on your website, or seeing maybe what your host runs for hardware?

I can add more to this, but I need more resources to make this better. If anybody has a dual processor system, can you let me know the value for total CPU's (if any).

Thanks, and here is the script!


<?php

$proc_number = exec("grep 'model name' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l");

for ($i = 0; $i < $proc_number; $i++) {

$model_name = exec("grep 'vendor_id' /proc/cpuinfo");
$model_name = explode(":", $model_name);
$model_name = trim($model_name[1]);

$model_vendor = exec("grep 'model name' /proc/cpuinfo");
$model_vendor = explode(":", $model_vendor);
$model_vendor = trim($model_vendor[1]);

$cpu_mhz = exec("grep 'cpu MHz' /proc/cpuinfo");
$cpu_mhz = explode(":", $cpu_mhz);
$cpu_mhz = trim($cpu_mhz[1]);

$cache_size = exec("grep 'cache size' /proc/cpuinfo");
$cache_size = explode(":", $cache_size);
$cache_size = trim($cache_size[1]);

// The following whill show cpu cores
// this is per proccessor so it will repeat.

if (exec("grep 'cpu cores' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l") > 0) {

$cpu_cores = exec("grep 'core id' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l");
$cpu_cores = trim($cpu_cores);

}else{

$cpu_cores = 1;

}

$cpuinfo[$i][model_vendor] = $model_name;
$cpuinfo[$i][model_name] = $model_vendor;
$cpuinfo[$i][cpu_mhz] = $cpu_mhz;
$cpuinfo[$i][cache_size] = $cache_size;
$cpuinfo[$i][cpu_cores] = $cpu_cores;

}

echo "<pre>";
print_r($cpuinfo);
echo "</pre>";

?>And here is a sample output from a quad-core system:

If you have any feedback please feel free to ask.

I got something to say ... using grep and cat and unix bash functions is backwards, php can do all of that by itself, and the files in /proc are physical files ( ie, you can fopen them on most systems ) ...

You should try to achieve everything with php, using code such as that is very restrictive ...

Actually that's a better idea, I'll fix something up later.
