ID: 13423 Updated by: jimw Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old Status: Open Status: Analyzed Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 New Comment: actually, what is going on is that php's gethostbyname() simply returns the name when it can't be resolved. (that seems like rather silly behavior to me, and is probably worth changing.) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-09-24 18:12:03] [EMAIL PROTECTED] When you pass a host name such as ip-255-255-255-255.reverse.mobilenetics.com to gethostbyname() it returns the hostname, not the ip address. Regular hostnames like google.com work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13423&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
