Solution
Well assuming you have permission, and you have the correct SNMP username/passwords, a request of SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 will give you
A textual description of the entity. This value should include the full name and version identification of the system's hardware type, software operating-system, and networking software.
see Cisco MIB here
This should meet your needs.
PHP has a snmpget method that sounds like what you need.
If you don't have network permission, then I suggest you download nmap, and study how it identifies host operating systems.
