(yes, that's a later bug. but it documents the problem more concisely.) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-10 13:06:52] [EMAIL PROTECTED] <?php $domain = "www.yahoo.com"; echo gethostbyname($domain) . "<br>\n"; print_r (gethostbynamel($domain)); ?> www.yahoo.com Array () As I've thought about this some, I believe I started having problems with this only after upgrading to 4.06. It may have worked with 4.05 and I know it was working for me with 4.04plx Maybe this has something to do with my Linux Disto? I'm using RedHat 7.0 Thanks for your thoughts. For now, I'm just hard coding the ip address I need, so it's not like this is bogging me down.

(these both work for me just fine..) --Jani ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-09 16:13:52] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Can you access the internet from a browser? Yes, I can resolve any hostname using nslookup, host, etc. This machine accesses the internet just fine. ie. from the command line: [hydro@mail htdocs]$ host calc.intershipper.net calc.intershipper.net is a nickname for www.intershipper.net www.intershipper.net has address 216.58.153.11 [hydro@mail htdocs]$ but from PHP <?php echo gethostbyname ("calc.intershipper.net"); ?> calc.intershipper.net > Make sure your nameserver's are setup correctly. To the best of my knowledge, they are. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-09 16:02:33] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can you access the internet from a browser? gethostbyname() returns the hostname when it can't find the IP (invalid address.) Make sure your nameserver's are setup correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-09 15:57:51] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm having a problem where gethostbyname is returning the hostname not the IP address. Resolving hosts works fine on the command line with nslookup, host, etc. This is the exact problem as bug #8856. Andy said it should be resolved in 4.06, but I'm having problems. Thanks.
