for those who looks to get client machine name. this function only returns the server name where is running the app.
'n' parameter works for PHP 5.3 and earlier

El par??metro 'n' funciona para versiones anteriores a PHP 5.3

You can use php_uname("n") in Windows to return the host name. You may have worked this out already but it took my a blinkin age!
