Re: note 9575 added to Socket functions

Not completely correct. Look at the (still not documented) functions (from the PHP source code): int gethostbyaddr(string addr, string &name) Given a human-readable address, sets name to be the host's name int gethostbyname(string name, string &addr) Given a hostname, sets addr to be a human-readable version of the host's address int getpeername(int fd, string &addr[, int &port]) Given an fd, stores a string representing sa.sin_addr and the value of sa.sin_port into addr and port describing the remote side of a socket int getsockname(int fd, string &addr[, int &port]) Given an fd, stores a string representing sa.sin_addr and the value of sa.sin_port into addr and port describing the local side of a socket I will add the above to your note. Reading the PHP source code is always useful, before making an assertion. --- paulwade@greenbush.com wrote: > I filed a wishlist bug because I do not see any way > to get the IP address of the client.
