Problem with domain to IP address translator!

[CalumT]

Hey there PHP freaks,

I'm trying to build a basic domain to IP address translator, I have this code:


[code]<?php
$site=addslashes(strip_tags($_POST['site']));
$ipaddress = gethostbyname $site;
echo "The IP address of $site is $ipaddress";
?>[/code]

But It returns this error when I submit the form I created:

[i]Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/calumla/public_html/processip.php on line 97[/i]

Line 97, with my HTML is this:

[code]$ipaddress = gethostbyname $site;[/code]

All help is appriciated, thanks!

gethostbyname requires enclosed ().

so it should be

[code]$ipaddress = gethostbyname ('$site');[/code]

Thanks Ray, but there's still an error, If I put in Microsoft.com, I get this

[i] The IP address of microsoft.com is $site[/i]

Any ideas?

Hi,
Remove the quotes

[code]$ipaddress = gethostbyname($site);[/code]
