I am getting this error.

Warning: gethostbyaddr() [function.gethostbyaddr]: Address is not a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address in /home/mobsters/public_html/signup.php on line 312

This is line 312 in signup.php

$host=gethostbyaddr("$REMOTE_ADDR");

What could the problem be??? Thanks in advance for your help.

$REMOTE_ADDR must not be set. Use $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].

NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER depend on register_globals. Ever.
