If gethostbyname() can't translate the <TT CLASS="PARAMETER"><I>hostname</I></TT> into an IP address it will return the <TT CLASS="PARAMETER"><I>hostname</I></TT>.

gethostbyname() seems to always return '255.255.255.255' on Irix 6.2. I haven't seen this on any other platform.

$ipadres = gethostbyname("www.php.net");
echo "$ipadres";
