Motherboard Sensors

[Aybabtu]

Has anyone ever written a PHP script that will fetch the readings from the motherboard sensors. I am looking to make a web utility for our servers here. I have seen one that uses php on a unix server but I can not find any info on how to interface with the sensors. I think you can do this as well with ASP but I have found nothing that was either. Any help or a good kick in the right direction would be appreciated.

Not all motherboards have the same sensors. What exactly are you looking to monitor?

I am looking to monitor the processor and ambiant temperatures of inside the case.

This requires drivers, etc., that normally are OS-level issues. On some Unix platforms the resulting info may be available in the /proc system.

<pre>
<?
readfile('/proc/cpuinfo');
?>

On one of my systems I get

processor : 0
cpu : 740/750
temperature : 26-28 C (uncalibrated)
clock : 400MHz
