note 66181 added to function.gethostbyaddr

here is a handy little func , can be used with gethostbyaddr like it comes stock ...if you like that func .. or u can drop in one of the replacements the other comments above have noted ... this one is nice because it will do one of the following depending on what's available: 1. "hostname (IP) @ proxy host (proxy IP)" 2. "IP @ proxy IP" 3. "hostname (IP)" 4. "IP" i.e. it will give u whatever it can get ...with bare minimum being IP only function host_info() { global $HTTP_SERVER_VARS; if ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"] != ""){ $IP = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"]; $proxy_IP = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"]; $proxy_host = @gethostbyaddr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"]); $host = @gethostbyaddr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"]); } else { $IP = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"]; $host = @gethostbyaddr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"]); } if ($host != $IP) $host = "$host ($IP)"; if (isset($proxy_host)) { $host .= ' @' . $proxy_host; if ($proxy_host != $proxy_IP) $host .= " ($proxy_IP)"; } return $host; } ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 66.93.57.98 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.8 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER, UPPERCASE_25_50 autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gethostbyaddr.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/66181 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66181/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66181/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66181/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66181/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66181/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66181/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66181 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/66181 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
