gethostbyaddr — 获取指定的IP地址对应的主机名
$ip_address
)
返回指定的IP地址(ip_address
)对应的主机名。
ip_address
主机的IP地址。
成功则返回主机名;失败则原样输出(输出IP地址);如果输入的格式不正常,则返回 FALSE
。
Example #1 一个使用 gethostbyaddr() 的简单例子
<?php
$hostname = gethostbyaddr ( $_SERVER [ 'REMOTE_ADDR' ]);
echo $hostname ;
?>

If you use gethostbyaddr() with a bad IP address then it will send an error message to the error log.
If you don't want your error log file getting too big then first check that the IP address is valid.
In the following example I first check if the IP number starts with a number,
if not then don't use gethostbyaddr('..')
<?php
$IP = "BadValue.123.123.123";
if(intval($IP)>0){
$ServerIP = gethostbyaddr($IP);
} else {
$ServerIP = $IP; // A bad address.
}
?>

You should be careful in the use of $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'], as I discovered, once using Amazon AWS's Elastic Load Balancer's, this value may be a comma separated list of IP addresses and will thusly not compare as conceived in almost every example I have seen posted by users in the comments.
[#3] dhjdhj at gmail dot com [2010-09-25 06:58:00]
I have observed that there are problems with all approaches that use the existence of an IP address to verify that the name being looked up actually exists.
If you're using opendns, then a request to a non-existent server returns an IP address anyway, the address being one for an opendns server. This is process is presumably in place so that errant URLs in browser requests take you to a "legitimate" page, i.e, the openDNS website where they can notify you of a problem.
Unfortunately, that mechanism seems to occur for ANY non-existent hostname. Appending a single period to the hostname does not seem to help.
[#4] Stuart Macdonald [2010-08-28 05:07:08]
Here's a simple function that uses Dig to obtain the hostname for a given IP address. If no hostname can be found it returns the IP again.
Works only on linux / unix, or whatever other platform with dig installed as a command line utility.
<?php
function tryGetHost($ip)
{
$string = '';
exec("dig +short -x $ip 2>&1", $output, $retval);
if ($retval != 0)
{
// there was an error performing the command
}
else
{
$x=0;
while ($x < (sizeof($output)))
{
$string.= $output[$x];
$x++;
}
}
if (empty($string))
$string = $ip;
else //remove the trailing dot
$string = substr($string, 0, -1);
return $string;
}
?>

Anonymous has a good point (though I don't agree with pushing to execution to shell unless I have to. However this is a faster example (explode then loop is a little too intensive for a simple check)
<?php
function gethost ($ip)
{
//Make sure the input is not going to do anything unexpected
//IPs must be in the form x.x.x.x with each x as a number
if( preg_match('/^(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)(?:[.]
(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)){3}$/', $ip) )
{
$host = `host $ip`;
return (($host ? end ( explode (' ', $host)) : $ip));
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
?>
Though to be honest I would use:
<?php
function gethost ($ip)
{
return ( preg_match('/^(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)(?:[.]
(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|1\d\d|[1-9]\d|\d)){3}$/', $ip) ) ? gethostbyaddr($ip) : false;
}
?>
[#6] webmaster at askapache dot com [2008-10-22 01:57:46]
Here is a simple function I compiled from user-notes that works great.. any improvements?
<?php
function get_ip( $host ){
$hostip = @gethostbyname( $host );
$ip = ( $hostip == $host ) ? $host : long2ip( ip2long( $hostip ) );
//echo sprintf("Resolved %s to %s", $host, $ip);
return $ip;
}
?>
[#7] robbakAgmail_com [2008-06-05 23:19:14]
it appears that gethostbyname() fails if the domain name contains unicode. Example:
$ host 10.10.10.128
128.10.10.10.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer PC-de-S\130bastien.flexi.robbak.com.
$ php
<?php echo gethostbyaddr( '10.10.10.128' ); ?>
10.10.10.128
gethostbyaddr is listed as unicode compatable in version 6, so a fix may be in the works.
[#8] billyblue [2007-12-17 20:12:52]
I just spent a dickens of a time trying to figure out why my gethostbyaddr's were simply failing halfway through.
I'm returning a log of page visits, and with each new IP, I wanted to pull the hostname of the IP. On each report page, I'm pulling 500 lines from my Db, but only maybe 25 IPs on average. Sometimes this report would generate in under 15 seconds, other times it would fail with a connection reset.
It turns out that several of the IPs in my Db looked like this: x.255.x.x. gethostbyaddr really hates that and simply dies when it reaches one of these IPs.
For my case, I purged the Db and prevented the logging of IPs that contain 255.
[#9] oryan at zareste dot com [2006-02-28 15:17:05]
If all else fails, but you have shell access, Unix/Linux servers can use this for a timeout response:
shell_exec('host -W 2 0.0.0.0');
Where 0.0.0.0 is of course the IP, and '2' is the number of seconds for the timeout. This returns a more detailed string of info, with some additional text which might vary depending on the system, so if you want a string with the hostname and nothing else, you'll have to do some substring cutting. There should be an equivalent of 'host' for Windows users to execute, but it isn't my platform.
[#10] tom [2005-10-07 01:14:45]
Be careful with the usage of this function - it will slow down a server to a crawl if called a lot and the slowness won't be reflected in any of the obvious places, like CPU usage, apache requests, SQL etc. When you do use it make a special note of where!
[#11] reinhard at ess dot co dot at [2005-04-12 02:27:19]
tried out some of the examples below, but no one worked for me.
(
"host" returns something if domain-name wasn't found
"gethostbyaddr" has a too long timeout when it fails
"the udp-example" returns some strange characters...
)
so i have changed the "host"-example a little bit. hope someone can need it. (maybe with little changes like without error-description)
<?php
function gethost($ip)
{
$host = `host $ip`;
$host=end(explode(' ',$host));
$host=substr($host,0,strlen($host)-2);
$chk=split("\(",$host);
if($chk[1]) return $ip." (".$chk[1].")";
else return $host;
}

The problem of broken DNS servers was causing me a problem because i had a page for user statistics that required around 20 reverse dns lookups to be done, and even as many as 5/6 of them being broken was causing a huge delay in loading the page. so i wrote a function that uses a UDP socket to talk directly to the DNS server (instead of going via the normal gethostbyaddr function) this let me set a timeout.
The only requirement is that your DNS server must be able to do recursive lookups, it wont go to other DNS servers if its told to... and of course you need to know your DNS servers IP address :-)
<?php
function gethostbyaddr_timeout($ip, $dns, $timeout=1000)
{
// random transaction number (for routers etc to get the reply back)
$data = rand(0, 99);
// trim it to 2 bytes
$data = substr($data, 0, 2);
// request header
$data .= "\1\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0";
// split IP up
$bits = explode(".", $ip);
// error checking
if (count($bits) != 4) return "ERROR";
// there is probably a better way to do this bit...
// loop through each segment
for ($x=3; $x>=0; $x--)
{
// needs a byte to indicate the length of each segment of the request
switch (strlen($bits[$x]))
{
case 1: // 1 byte long segment
$data .= "\1"; break;
case 2: // 2 byte long segment
$data .= "\2"; break;
case 3: // 3 byte long segment
$data .= "\3"; break;
default: // segment is too big, invalid IP
return "INVALID";
}
// and the segment itself
$data .= $bits[$x];
}
// and the final bit of the request
$data .= "\7in-addr\4arpa\0\0\x0C\0\1";
// create UDP socket
$handle = @fsockopen("udp://$dns", 53);
// send our request (and store request size so we can cheat later)
$requestsize=@fwrite($handle, $data);
@socket_set_timeout($handle, $timeout - $timeout%1000, $timeout%1000);
// hope we get a reply
$response = @fread($handle, 1000);
@fclose($handle);
if ($response == "")
return $ip;
// find the response type
$type = @unpack("s", substr($response, $requestsize+2));
if ($type[1] == 0x0C00) // answer
{
// set up our variables
$host="";
$len = 0;
// set our pointer at the beginning of the hostname
// uses the request size from earlier rather than work it out
$position=$requestsize+12;
// reconstruct hostname
do
{
// get segment size
$len = unpack("c", substr($response, $position));
// null terminated string, so length 0 = finished
if ($len[1] == 0)
// return the hostname, without the trailing .
return substr($host, 0, strlen($host) -1);
// add segment to our host
$host .= substr($response, $position+1, $len[1]) . ".";
// move pointer on to the next segment
$position += $len[1] + 1;
}
while ($len != 0);
// error - return the hostname we constructed (without the . on the end)
return $ip;
}
return $ip;
}
?>
This could be expanded quite a bit and improved but it works and i've seen quite a few people trying various methods to achieve something like this so i decided to post it here. on most servers it should also be more efficient than other methods such as calling nslookup because it doesn't need to run external programs
Note: I'm more a C person than a PHP person, so just ignore it if anything hasn't been done the *recomended* way :-)

Going through numerous tests, the following results are concluded:

gethostbyaddr() tends to lag on various systems for whatever reason. Here are two functions that should prove their worth speedwise.
<?php
// For Linux...
function gethost ($ip) {
$host = `host $ip`;
return (($host ? end ( explode (' ', $host)) : $ip));
}
// For Win32...
function nslookup ($ip) {
$host = split('Name:',`nslookup $ip`);
return ( trim (isset($host[1]) ? str_replace ("\n".'Address: '.$ip, '', $host[1]) : $ip));
}
?>
Pretty basic, but it should get the job done.
[#15] Matt AKA Junkie [2004-02-29 16:11:53]
Since my little ISP thing isn't globally acceptable, here's an update.
<?php

If you have found the host of the ip, the shortest way to cut it not to display the full hostname to the public would be:
$host = substr($host, strpos($host, ".") + 1);
P.S. strpos() can also be easily used if you want to put "*" for every simbol you ommit, like so:
$os = strpos($host, ".");
$host = substr($host, $os);
$host = str_repeat("*", $os) . $host;

For ad-rotator.com, we need to do a lot of IP lookups, gethostbyaddr is very easy get timed-out and the script stucks there forever. Here is a fail-safe alternative, 1 sec max for timeout per IP.
function ar_gethostbyaddr($ip) {
$output = `host -W 1 $ip`;
if (ereg('.*pointer ([A-Za-z0-9.-]+)\..*',$output,$regs)) {
return $regs[1];
}

Just to fun that gethostbyadd() returns server machine name known in LAN rather then its DNS if I try to call it against my own host (from workstation), whether it would local (behind the proxy) or global (of proxy itself) IP or just loop 127.0.0.1.
And thus you can get LAN names of other workstations by its intranet IPs (I mean smth like 192.168.0.???)
Fun :)

In response to god at weaponzero dot f2s dot com: I found this much easier to write.
<?php
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$fullhost = gethostbyaddr($ip);
$host = preg_replace("/^[^.]+./", "*.", $fullhost);
?>
IP address
<?php=$ip?>

You can still protect the IP of your visitors and only show the hostname or show them both.
[#20] lukevb_at_iafrica.com [2002-11-09 02:43:13]
Sometimes when using $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] OR $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] more than 1 IP address is returned, for example '155.240.132.261, 196.250.25.120'. When this string is passed as an argument for gethostbyaddr() PHP gives the following error: Warning: Address is not a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address in...
To work around this I use the following code to extract the first IP address from the string and discard the rest. (If you wish to use the other IPs they will be in the other elements of the $ips array).
if (strstr($remoteIP, ', ')) {
$ips = explode(', ', $remoteIP);
$remoteIP = $ips[0];
}
Hope this helps someone :)

gethostbyaddr() doesn't seem to be able to resolve ip6.int
(ipv6) adresses, so I made a function that can, and works
just like the normal gethostbyaddr().
You need dig and ipv6calc, dig should come with most
distributions, if not, install bind from http://www.isc.org.
ipv6calc can be found at http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/ipv6calc/index.html.
function gethostbyaddr6($ip6) {
$ipv6calc = "/bin/ipv6calc";
$dig = "/usr/bin/dig";
$file = popen($ipv6calc." --in ipv6addr --out revnibbles.int ".escapeshellarg($ip6), r);
$ip = fread($file, 128);
pclose($file);
if ((substr($ip, 0, 5) == "Error") || (!$ip)) return "Address is not a valid IPv6 address";
$file = popen($dig." ptr ".$ip, r);
while (!feof ($file)) {
$buffer = fgets($file, 128);
if (substr($buffer, 0, 1) == ";") continue;
$buffer = explode(" ", $buffer);
if ($buffer[3] == "PTR") {
$host = substr(trim($buffer[4]), 0, -1);
pclose($file);
return $host;
}
}
pclose($file);
return $ip6;
}
echo gethostbyaddr6($_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]);

To convert an IP to a numeric value, just use the ip2long (...) function.
Vice versa; use: long2ip (...)

This function seems to be very slow on IIS 4.0 Server (Win32). I use system call to NSLOOKUP instead to get PC-Hostname:
unset ($execoutput);
exec ("nslookup $IPAdresse 2>nul",$execoutput,$nslookstatus);
if (isset ($execoutput[3]) && ereg ("^Name: *([A-Za-z0-9]{2,})\.",$execoutput[3],$regs))
$nslookname=strtoupper($regs[1]);
else $nslookname="Unknown";
Note by members: This is not portable to Windows platforms. so you would be better to stay with our function.

gethostbyaddr_with_cache()
As someone truely said upper in the forum, some unresolved addresses may slow down your script to the point it times out.
Althought I had thought gethostbyaddr() would use some kind of cache, it doesn't seem to when the IP is unresolved (at least on my win machine).
So, I've coded a little gethostbyaddr_with_cache() function that will greatly speed your page if you have many gethostbyaddr() to perform on the same page.
function gethostbyaddr_with_cache($a) {
global $dns_cache;
if ($dns_cache[$a]) {
return $dns_cache[$a];
} else {
$temp = gethostbyaddr($a);
$dns_cache[$a] = $temp;
return $temp;
}
}

Turning on the HostnameLookup function on in the apache configuration file will severely increase the loading times of all the pages serviced by the httpd-server.
It's mostly a better idea to just use gethostbyaddr($REMOTE_ADDR); instead of $REMOTE_HOST if you turned HostnameLookups On, unless you want the hostnames specified in apache's log file...
[#27] ven at PragaKhan dot com [2002-07-16 03:55:59]
$REMOTE_HOST or $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'] will give you the reversed ip IF apache is setup to do hostname lookups.

return(ereg_replace('\.[0-9]{1,3}$', '.*', $host));

This is also very useful if you'd like to ban these annoying people that keep spamming your forums. It requires a clever use of mySql but can be great:
First, make a table for the bans, then make the query:
"SELECT banReason from tBans where '". gethostbyaddr($REMOTE_ADDR) ."' LIKE banMask"
If your results aren't null it means his host matched a banMask in your DB, so you can redirect him with header() to a banned.php page and prevent him from accessing any content on your page!
[#30] phalkon at nospam dot home dot com [2001-06-08 15:58:30]
Be cautious when looking up many hostnames. If your DNS server is slow to respond, you may have to pump up your Max execution time for your scripts, otherwise, it will timeout. I found that even 3 unresolvable hosts can cause a 30 second delay in processing.

if the user is sitting behind a proxy server, you can do this;
<?php
if ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"] != ""){
$IP = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];
$proxy = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"];
$host = @gethostbyaddr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"]);
}else{
$IP = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"];
$host = @gethostbyaddr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REMOTE_ADDR"]);
}
?>
ps; i use $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["something"] instead of just $something;
you can get most of the $HTTP_SERVER_VARS by just using there $something equivalent, see the manual for that (preserved variables)
