note 86496 added to function.gethostbyaddr

Here is a simple function I compiled from user-notes that works great.. any improvements? function get_ip( $host ){ $hostip = @gethostbyname( $host ); $ip = ( $hostip == $host ) ? $host : long2ip( ip2long( $hostip ) ); //echo sprintf("Resolved %s to %s", $host, $ip); return $ip; } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 24.172.164.205 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gethostbyaddr.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/86496 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86496/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86496/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86496/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86496/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86496/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86496/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86496 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/86496 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
