If you have further questions please submit them to the php-general list, or one of the other lists at: http://www.php.net/support.php In answer to your question, take a look at: http://www.php.net/manual/html/function.gethostbyaddr.html You don't need to use getenv() with php, the $REMOTE_ADDR variable should already be defined in the global context. If you want to see it from inside a function, you will need to use a global declaration. You might be able to enable hostname lookups on your web server and use the HTTP_HOST variable, but unless you need it on every page served it is a waste of time.
