It's not so easy to provide RX/TX counters and status. Providing proper names and addresses should allow you to write the non-portable stuff for the platform you are targeting, in php ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-10-27 12:42:45] krakjoe@php.net Because _nobody_ should have to wait more than a decade for a decent answer: https://gist.github.com/krakjoe/7181349 Not able to attach patch to bug, will do when systems are fixed ... stupid hackers ... Who is gonna do windows ?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-24 02:22:59] derick@php.net reclassify as feature request ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-24 00:37:55] mfischer@php.net If you can think of a cross-platform way ... which I doubt. Just execute /sbin/ifconfig and parse it's output. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-23 20:29:51] e at arix dot com I'd like to request a function to retrieve the IP address(es) of a given network interface... something that would let me: $ip = ifaddr("eth0"); maybe even something more general like: $info = ifconfig("eth0") echo $info["HWAddr"], $info["Mask"]; echo $info["RX-packets"], $info["RX-errors"], etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=17400&edit=1
