Re: [PHP] Mac Address Lookup

If you have the IP address, then 'nslookup'

or I guess now 'dig' and 'host' would be the newere versions. They are Linux system calls, use system() or exec() to use them within your script, and play around with the options and/or read the man pages for how to use them.
