If you look at the site closely, it says that it is a sample from a program called Speedfan. http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

As far as I know, you can't do this through php.

If you would really like to display your HDD's temperature or in fact any live information about your server you will need to look at some sort of client/server applet system such as a java applet. What you could do is write a small program on your server which monitors live statistics such as temp, speed, fan speed, etc, etc, etc, and then write a client applet which connects to a socket on that server application and gets regular updates. Or secondly you can download and install a program which logs server statistics at regular intervals and then just parse the log file using PHP.
