Hi again, Am having a bit of a problem here, basically I have a text box on my site where the visitor enters a url and I display that url's ip address...which as Eugeni kindly pointed out can be easily done with gethostbyname()...but the problem is the url entered at my site would be something like: http://google.com/index.html or http://www.google.com/something/more/index.html and gethostbyname is only displaying the ip if I pass it something like www.google.com Any idea how i can "strip" the first 2 examples to get the format i can pass to gethostbyname() ?
It's all in the manual... http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php -- John C. Nichel ÜberGeek KegWorks.com 716.856.9675 john@kegworks.com
