You can find the IP and find with it the name. On 25/08/05, Chris Shiflett [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Gustav Wiberg wrote: Is it possible to retrieve (view) the computers name from the client in PHP?

But do you realise what sort of slowdown doing a DNS lookup for (I am assuming here) every request would cause? Better to store the IPs and run some sort of tool on the logs later to get the names, maybe at a time when there's hardly any load on the server Of course if you're only doing it in certain situations, it might be OK...

A) On a different machine entirely, dedicated to DNS lookups B) Using a tool that caches DNS results, so it doesn't lookup the same IP address 1,000 times DNS lookups usually (by default) take 30 seconds to time-out. You really don't want every page on your site to take 30 seconds to find out that some dial-up user has no domain name for their IP address because there simply is no domain name for that IP. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
