### Requirements

[](#requirements)

To use WMI, your server must meet the following requirements:

- Windows OS
- PHP 5.4 or Greater
- PHP COM extension enabled

### Installation

[](#installation)

Insert WMI into your `composer.json`:

```
"oriceon/wmi": "^1.0"

```

Now run `composer update`.

You're all set!

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Connecting

[](#connecting)

To use WMI, you must create a new WMI instance. To interact with the current computer, just create a WMI instance:

```
use Oriceon\Wmi\Wmi;

$wmi = new Wmi();

```

To interact with a PC on your network, you'll need to enter a host name, and a username and password if needed:

```
$wmi = new Wmi($host = 'GUEST-PC', $username = 'guest', $password = 'password');

```

Now we can connect to it, but you'll need to specify the namespace you're looking to connect to:

```
$wmi->connect('root\\cimv2');

```

The `connect()` method will return true or false if the connection was successful:

```
if ($connection = $wmi->connect('root\\cimv2'))
{
    echo "Cool! We're connected.";

    $query = $connection->newQuery();
}
else {
    echo "Uh oh, looks like we couldn't connect.";
}

```

### Querying

[](#querying)

> **CAUTION**: Before we get started with queries, you should know that **NO VALUES** are escaped besides quotes inside any query method. This package **is not** meant to handle user input, and you should not allow users to query computers on your network.

#### Raw Queries

[](#raw-queries)

Once you've connected to the computer, you can execute queries on it with its connection. To execute a raw query, use:

```
$connection = $wmi->getConnection();

$results = $connection->query('SELECT * FROM Win32_LogicalDisk');

foreach($results as $disk)
{
    $disk->Size;
}

```

#### Query Builder

[](#query-builder)

WMI Comes with a WQL query builder so you're able to easily build statements. To create a new Builder use the `newQuery()`method on the WMI connection instance like so:

```
$query = $wmi->getConnection()->newQuery();

```

Once you have the query, we can start building:

```
$results = $query->select('*')
    ->from('Win32_LogicalDisk')
    ->where('Size', '>=', '150000')
    ->get();

```

##### Select

[](#select)

The select method accepts a string or an array to insert selects onto the current query. For example:

```
// Select All
$query->select('*');

// Select Specific
$query->select(['Name', 'Disk', 'Size']);

// Select Specific (string)
$query->select('Name, Disk, Size');

```

If you don't use the select method, that's fine too. The Builder will assume you're meaning to select all columns, so you're able to perform:

```
$query->from('Win32_LogicalDisk')->get();

// Query Executed
SELECT * FROM Win32_LogicalDisk

```

##### From

[](#from)

The from method accepts a string that is a WMI class name. For example:

```
$query->from('Win32_DiskDrive')->get();

// Or

$query->from('Win32_BIOS')->get();

```

For more information on WMI classes, visit:

##### Where

[](#where)

The where method accepts a field, operator and value. This is useful for retrieving data with a specific set of requirements.

The method:

```
$query->where($field, $operator, $value);

```

Example:

```
$query->where('Size', '>', 15000)->from('Win32_LogicalDisk')->get();

```

The field parameter needs to be an attribute in the `from` class, otherwise you will not receive the correct results.
