I wrote the below to give me the hostname, which generally gives you the ISP information too, to fix a problem on a project I was doing. If it won't resolve to a name (which does happen sometimes for machines behind corporate firewalls), I just displayed "No Reverse DNS" <?php $pingResults = shell_exec('ping -a ' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']); $temp = explode("\r\n",$pingResults); preg_match("/^Pinging\s([a-zA-Z0-9.]+)/", $temp[1], $hostname); if ($temp[4] == "Request timed out.") $latency = "Unknown"; else $latency = $temp[4]; ?> Hostname: <?php if (!$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == preg_match("/^[a-z.]+/i",$hostname[1])) echo "No Reverse DNS"; else echo $hostname[1]; ?> Latency: <? echo $latency; ?> Geez, it's amazing when you dig back through old code you realize how much your coding skills sucked back then! <grin> -- Leif (TB lists moderator and fellow end user).
