You can get the hostname from an IP address using the gethostbyaddr() function:


echo gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);


As for "isp", you'll probably need to do some lookups on the hostname/and or address, but I'm not sure exactly how.

But if do like this it willn't work :

echo gethostbyaddr(69.105.29.93 );

If i knew how to get the isp i was not asking it in the first place!!:eek2:

try using quotes (" ") and deleteing the space at the end.
