PHP-General - Resolve IP Address

I am using
$IP=gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

to get the ip address of the user but some times iam getting an ip address as following

089-100-174051.ntlworld.ie

what does this ip address means and how can i resolve it?

i found one link which resolves it on
webyield.net

but i need to do it an script as i need to map ip address to country.

Can anyone help in resolving the ip address using php script.

Thanks.

To get the IP, just use:

Code:

$IP=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

(Works in MOST cases, but there are exceptions)

gethostbyaddr() resolves the IP to a hostname, using Reverse DNS
