Hi,
If I have a domain name, how can I convert it to an IP address?
So lets say user eneters yahoo.com and my page would echo 216.109.112.135

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Well you could always look in cpanel if you have one and it should say your ip address or you could just click on start > run > type in config > then type ping yourdomainurl.com and it should run and there should be a ip there.. theres many of ways to finding your domain ip address....

:roll: I didnt mean how to find ip adress in general, i need it for a PHP page to "ping" the domaoin name get an IP address of the server and work with it. No manual job should be done by the user?
