HTTP_REMOTE_HOST problem

[meatwad]

Hi there. I've been programming websites with PHP and know it pretty well. Thing is, I think they've updated since a long time, and the HTTP_REMOTE_HOST isn't working prior to this post (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5501). I was a little disappointed, but it is a pretty old post. (2005)

Getting help on this problem would be great and well appreciated.

If you are looking for finding the client IP address and the host name the following code will do that



<?php
$clientip= $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$clienthostname = gethostbyaddr($clientip);

echo $clientip."<br>"; //Display the IP of the client
echo $clienthostname ."<br>"; //Display the host name based on the client IP
?>


Hope this is what you are looking

As far as I'm aware, $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'] still works.
