#48008 [NEW]: gethostbyname does not return IPv6 addresses
From: carsten_sttgt at gmx dot de
Operating system: Windows_NT
PHP version: 5.2.9
PHP Bug Type: Network related
Bug description: gethostbyname does not return IPv6 addresses
Description:
------------
Hello,
I have a system e.g.:
hostname: localhost
ip1: ::1
ip2: 127.0.0.1
(the problem is not specific to localhost)
A fopen('http://localhost/', 'rb');
connect correctly to "::1".
But gethostbyname('localhost'); returns "127.0.0.1".
gethostbynamel('localhost'); also returns only a array with "127.0.0.1".
Well, how can I know which IP PHP is using in a e.g. fopen() call?
And if gethostbyname() can't work with IPv6, this should be noted in the
PHP manual. From what I can see, gethostbyaddr() is also working only with
IPv4 (don't see this in the manual).
In phpinfo() i can read:
| IPv6 Support enabled
Regards,
Carsten
