Showing ISP Name using PHP

[roosevelt]

Hi there,

I know how to display an IP address using php but what is the code to show IPS provider... like it's gonne say Your IPS Verizon.net or something like that. Thank you.

you would probably have to do a check on who owns the IP address

not sure if you can do that in PHP though..? :unsure:

I have seen this in couple of sites long time ago... there is a way to show it... :p

yeah but they would have their own servers that can tracer route the persons ip, most servers now disable ping/tracerroute.

But that gives you a garbled bic81840184.hostname.com

What I use is this:

<?php
function cleanhost($host) {
   if (ereg('^([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}$', $host)) {
       return(ereg_replace('\.[0-9]{1,3}$', '*', $host));
   } else {
       return(ereg_replace('^.{' . strpos($host, '.') . '}', '', $host));
   }
}

$hostin = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
$echo($hostin);
?>
