GetHostbyName() after Str_Replace() ?!

[Anon]

Hi,

Why GetHostbyName() isn't work after str_replace() ??

<?php

// HERES CODE...

$urlwithhttp = "http://www.php.net";
$urlnohttp = str_replace("http://"," ",$url);

echo "Heres URL with http: $urlwithhttp <br>";

echo "Heres URL without http: $urlnohttp <br><br>";

$whatsurlip = gethostbyname($urlnohttp);

echo "This SHOULD be URLs IP-address: $whatsurlip<br>";

?>

Um, because you've got a space at the start of the hostname?
urlnohttp = str_replace("http://"," ",$url);

Hmm, that's what I thought too... but it isn't the problem.
