In common speech, if one asks for the IP of a certain host, he wants to see the A (=address) record. Your question was "how do I retrieve an A record for a domain in PHP?" I suppose you mean host instead of domain (www.php.net is a host, and php.net is its domain), and then gethostbyname does what you asked for. If that is not what you want, please tell us what you need. -- Regards, Sascha Schumann Consultant
