note 51820 added to function.gethostbyaddr

tried out some of the examples below, but no one worked for me. ( "host" returns something if domain-name wasn't found "gethostbyaddr" has a too long timeout when it fails "the udp-example" returns some strange characters... ) so i have changed the "host"-example a little bit. hope someone can need it. (maybe with little changes like without error-description) <? function gethost($ip) { $host = host $ip; $host=end(explode(' ',$host)); $host=substr($host,0,strlen($host)-2); $chk=split("\(",$host); if($chk[1]) return $ip." (".$chk[1].")"; else return $host; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gethostbyaddr.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+51820 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51820&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51820&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51820&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51820&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51820&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+51820&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
