domain resolution

[tiburblium]

Hi all! Im working on a script to monitor traffic and was wondering if there was a way in php to resolve a domain name from an ip address stored in a variable?

If not would it be possible to pass commands from php to a unix shell, resolve the domain from a ping command, then pass the results back into php and store it as a variable?

Thanks!

Well, I'm sure searching this messageboard will bring up some results.

Your answer probably lies in the use of gethostbyaddr() and the like.

try this ... perhaps it's enough already 🙂

$domain_name = gethostbyaddr($ip);

Look in the manual for gethostbyaddr....
