You can not get all the information in one place.

Some information can be found in $_SERVER including the clients browser. You can use this information to get more details about the client:

echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . "\n\n";
$browser = get_browser(null, true);
print_r($browser);

The above example will output something similar to:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

Array
(
    [browser_name_regex] => ^mozilla/5\.0 (windows; .; windows nt 5\.1; .*rv:.*) gecko/.* firefox/0\.9.*$
    [browser_name_pattern] => Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; ?; Windows NT 5.1; *rv:*) Gecko/* Firefox/0.9*
    [parent] => Firefox 0.9
    [platform] => WinXP
    [browser] => Firefox
    [version] => 0.9
    [majorver] => 0
    [minorver] => 9
    [cssversion] => 2
    [frames] => 1
    [iframes] => 1
    [tables] => 1
    [cookies] => 1
    [backgroundsounds] =>
    [vbscript] =>
    [javascript] => 1
    [javaapplets] => 1
    ...
)

Some informations like the users location are harder to get.

To get the users location you can try to use a geoip lib or use ajax and sniff out the data via javascript.

Both approaches are covered in depth on SO so I`ll just point you to the search and wich you good luck ;)

Getting all information from one source is not possible.

You can use this library for getting information regarding user Operation system and its version and other details

https://github.com/GaretJax/phpbrowscap/.

You can get user device info using :

$browscap = @new Browscap(sys_get_temp_dir());
$device_details = $browscap->getBrowser();

The above will output :

stdClass Object
(
    [browser_name] => Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.31 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/26.0.1410.64 Safari/537.31
    [browser_name_regex] => ^mozilla/5\.0 \(.*windows nt 6\.2.*wow64.*\) applewebkit/.* \(khtml, like gecko\).*chrome/26\..*safari/.*$
    [browser_name_pattern] => Mozilla/5.0 (*Windows NT 6.2*WOW64*) AppleWebKit/* (KHTML, like Gecko)*Chrome/26.*Safari/*
    [Parent] => Chrome 26.0
    [Platform] => Win8
    [Platform_Version] => 6.2
    [Win32] => 
    [Win64] => 1
    [Comment] => Chrome 26.0
    [Browser] => Chrome
    [Version] => 26.0
    [MajorVer] => 26
    [MinorVer] => 0
    [Beta] => 1
    [Frames] => 1
    [IFrames] => 1
    [Tables] => 1
    [Cookies] => 1
    [JavaScript] => 1
    [JavaApplets] => 1
    [CssVersion] => 3
    [Alpha] => 
    [Win16] => 
    [BackgroundSounds] => 
    [VBScript] => 
    [ActiveXControls] => 
    [isMobileDevice] => 
    [isSyndicationReader] => 
    [Crawler] => 
)

PHP has an inbuilt function get_browser() which will do the same. You have to browscap ini directive then.

If you want to get the user IP, then you can get it from the $_SERVER variable

$ip_address = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];

If you want to know the user city, country etc then you can use the IP you got from the $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] to get those . You can use these:

Hope these helps you :)

You can get a lot of info from the $_SERVER global-array.

IP Address: $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']

Browser/OS/versions: $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']

To get the City or some other geo information from the IP, Google for "geo IP". Quick note about geo IP: it's not waterproof. It's a managed database with IP addresses and their location. New IP ranges, or moved ("Second hand") IP addresses might not be (or not correct) in the database. Especially IPv6 for example.
