Tracking domainnames.

Posted: Sat Feb 17, 2007 8:03 am

Hi, I'm trying to create an online version checker which will store all pagehits by domainname. Sad thing is that when a website/server hits the page on my site to check if there is an update, only the [REMOTE_ADDR] IP is obtainable, as it is no referer. Is there a way to get the domain name? Or either with .htaccess?

Yeah, that's what I figured already...I just thought there was another way to retreive the domainname other than a single IP of the server....
I'll try sumfn else Smile

...just got an idea popup into my head...

If you want to track the domain name there is only one, simple way, to do that.

The client site will connect to your online version checker as follow:

momsite.com/online_version_checker.php?version=2.2&domain=client.com

On the client side its easy to get the correct domain name but if not available then the ip will be sent. Sure you might soon will start logging 127.0.0.1 or other lan IPs but thats a small fees to pay for user that are "testing" your product in their local PCs

Well you can use the PHP gethostbyaddr() function to get the host name. That would help if you want to track by ISP. But there generally isn't anything to go from IP -> Domain
