    No you can't. Server name and Client machine name are two different things.

    No. The only way would be using some kind of virus/trojan or browser exploit. But as this method is illegal it is not really an option.

    Can't be done with PHP, can probably do it with a Java app although that will obviously require the user's permission to download. If you do a print_r($_SERVER) you'll get the information available via the server global.
