This is however only the case when I use PHP as CGI. gethostbynamel works as expected when I use PHP as Apache module and also when I use it from the command line, but not when I use it as CGI. If this behaviour of gethostbynamel is intended or unavoidable, it should be mentioned in the manual for gethostbynamel. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php var_dump(gethostbynamel("localhost")); ?> Expected result: ---------------- List of addresses Actual result: -------------- FALSE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40234&edit=1
