Domain to hostname script req.

encoderX · #1 20-Dec-2003, 16:50

Hi
I am trying to do the following and hope you can help.

I want people so they can put a domain in a form and it will result the hostname eg:
input encoderx.co.uk and it will result/show uk6-u.valuehost.co.uk which is the hostname of my domain where my domain is held.

Hope you understand and thank you

Hello encoderX,

Good question...

I had to think for a while.

Maybe you can try this and see if it gives you the results that you expect...

PHP Code:


<?php

// the domain
$domain = 'encoderx.co.uk';
$ip = gethostbyname( $domain );
$host = gethostbyaddr( $ip );
echo "\$host is: $host\r\n";
?>

Maybe there is a better way to do this but right now this is all I could figure out... also I see some excellent new functions to do just something like this in one line but that's in PHP 5!

Hi
The php code you kindly worked out does great - I can see this been solved

I'd like it so the domain could be passed from a form input, I can see a light at the end of the tunnel...

Do you have a link please to the php 5 that might work?

I am greatful for your input so far.

Kind regards.

An interesting function in PHP 5:

I don't quite understand what you mean by:
