Here's a good article on retrieving the default browser. If you look around that website a bit more, you may find the rest of the answers to your questions.  (That website is a great VB resource) |

Not sure if this is applicable (you don't mention if it's .net/vb6), but in .net this is all pretty trivial.
Use the System.Diagnostics namespace to pull whatever data you need, then make a WebRequest with the data you want to push into your php script input like a form (keep the php simple, ya know).

For a free (as in beer) Visual Basic.NET, although C# would probably be better, it's the same libraries anyway.
Pretty informative first post (!  ) I think. Let's hope it degenerates into toilet humour and obscure anime/music references asap eh  |

I'm pretty sure there are APIs for checking all of that. For default web browser specifically, you can work out the path if you read the register key at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTP\shell\open\command - that's the association for the http:// protocol, IE default browser. Once you have the path it should be pretty easy to figure out what browser name it is and version data should be retrievable via file metadata API functions. |

is there a way to detect CPU usage, webbrowser and things like that with VB?
I know how to let a timer do a every 3 min update. |

You want the Internet Transfer Control, and you want it to send data to a special PHP script that will store it in a file for you. The sig file would read the file and print out as usual. |

hmm...well, you could probably use VB to write to a file on a server that PHP will use to determine what it will do. But to use VB to provide input to PHP directly, I do not think that is possible. |

does anyone have a method to get system stats and send them to a PHP page?
I'm trying to make my own kind of SigX. |
