#46645 [Opn->Fbk]: gethostbyaddr() does not work with IPv6

ID: 46645 Updated by: lbarnaud@php.net Reported By: carrerag at hotmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Network related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.2.7RC4 New Comment: The error message is displayed only when ipv6 support is disabled in PHP (else you get "Address is not a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address"). Maybe you compiled PHP without ipv6 support, or your system does not support ipv6.

At least not on my Windows XP platform. This is with both versions 5.2.6 and with the latest snapshot 5.2.7RC4. This function does work properly in version 5.3alpha however, I cannot use that version due to other compatibility issues. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo gethostbyaddr ( '2001:470:0:64::2' ); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Return "ipv6.he.net" Actual result: -------------- PHP Warning: gethostbyaddr() [<a href='function.gethostbyaddr'>function.gethostbyaddr</a>]: Address is not in a.b.c.d form in C:\www\tests\saved\host.php on line 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46645&edit=1
