note 34598 added to function.gethostbyaddr

If you have found the host of the ip, the shortest way to cut it not to display the full hostname to the public would be: $host = substr($host, strpos($host, ".") + 1); P.S. strpos() can also be easily used if you want to put "*" for every simbol you ommit, like so: $os = strpos($host, "."); $host = substr($host, $os); $host = str_repeat("*", $os) . $host; --McTrafik ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gethostbyaddr.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+34598 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+34598&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+34598&report=yes
