Hello,
Does gethostbyaddr actually work for anyone while looking up an IPv6 address? I can't seem to get it to work. For example:
echo gethostbyaddr ( '2001:470:0:64::2' );
should return "ipv6.he.net" but instead I get the following error:
[21-Nov-2008 22:43:37] PHP Warning: gethostbyaddr()
[<a href='function.gethostbyaddr'>function.gethostbyaddr</a>]:
Address is not in a.b.c.d form in C:\www\tests\saved\host.php on line 7
Google has not been my friend in this matter...
Any insight?
Thanks,
Glen
