Get the ip address for a domain

[Angelos]

Hello there I am trying to find the function that returns the ip address for
a domain.

I try that : echo $domain = checkdnsrr('www.google.com','ANY'); For
example...
And I get in the screen 1 ... what I want is to get the IP address for that
DOMAIN ... Any ideas ?

Correct. That means that www.google.com does have a DNS entry (in PHP
different from zero means TRUE).
what I want is to get the IP address for that
DOMAIN ... Any ideas ?

"See also dns_get_record(), getmxrr(), gethostbyaddr(), gethostbyname(),
gethostbynamel(), and the named(8) manual page."

gethostbyname(), I reckon.
