Bug #17713 Updated: Request Reverse Lookup Reserved Variable

ID: 17713 Updated by: yohgaki@php.net Reported By: vnolton@pragakhan.com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Solaris,freebsd PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: IMO, we shouldn't do that. It can be done by 1 line of php script. As you know, DNS lookup is _expensive_ operation and kills performance a lot. If you need reverse lookup, do it by yourself. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-11 16:05:34] vnolton@pragakhan.com $REMOTE_ADDR returns the ip of the remote user 127.0.0.1 (example). Some of us have apache setup to do reverse lookups of the ips for logging. Could there not be a way (without using a lookup function) to have a reserved variable return the already reversed IP? $REMOTE_ADDR_EXT could maybe return www.blah.com Just a request. Sorry to bother you all. Victor 'Ven' Nolton ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17713&edit=1
