The gethostbyname() PHP function can be used to look up the IP address for a given domain name.
string gethostbyname(string hostname)
The gethostbyname() function expects a host or domain name string parameter without the http:// protocol part (e.g., www.bme.ie) and returns the IP address for the given hostname or the hostname itself if the lookup failed.
The gethostbyaddr() PHP function can be used to look up the host (domain) name for a given IP address.
string gethostbyaddr(string ipaddress)
The gethostbyaddr() function expects a IP address string parameter (e.g., 207.46.249.252) and returns the host or domain name for the given ipaddress or the ipaddress itself if the lookup failed.
The following PHP and HTML code displays a HTML page with a form for IP address and domain name lookups:
