Network solution needed

[einhverfr]

Hi;

I was wondering if anyone had an elegant way across platforms to determine the hostname of the local system regardless of whether the program is running on Windows or a POSIX environment?

I am considering using a PERL script to detect and configure once on install, but I want a secondary method.

Make a script that has:

<? phpinfo(); ?>

Then run open it in the browser. You'll see in one of the PHP variables your hostname.

Thanks, but I am looking for a way so that I can use it to add users into a mysql database so that they can only connect from that web server...

Yeah, and if you looked at the output of phpinfo(), you'll see that $SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] and $SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'] have the values you're looking for.
