Doc #79619 [Nab]: gethostname() should mention FQDN

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79619&edit=1 ID: 79619 User updated by: lkmorlan at uwaterloo dot ca Reported by: lkmorlan at uwaterloo dot ca Summary: gethostname() should mention FQDN Status: Not a bug Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I suggest adding: The value is the output of the system hostname command. Depending on system configuration, this will be either the fully-qualified domain name or just the local part of the name. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-05-21 19:57:51] requinix@php.net PHP is merely reporting what your system says. There's no logic about making it fully-qualified or not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-05-21 19:33:03] lkmorlan at uwaterloo dot ca Description: ------------ --- From manual page: https://php.net/function.gethostname --- The documentation does not say anything about whether the return value is a fully-qualified domain name or not; sometimes it is, sometimes it is not. It should mention that it could return either and explain what causes it to do one or the other. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79619&edit=1
