Why are you even trying to call gethostbyaddr()? What do you need it
for in your page?
And even if it's the last thing on your page, it will still delay
delivery of the page content.

Flush will output current data in the PHP buffers. But you still have
the web server's buffers, and, since the request is not complete, the
browser may or may not show the information. This is not Tomcat or
Resin. And BTW - those don't guarantee all of the output will be
displayed by the browser immediately. Additionally, the browser will
still wait for the request to be completed.
Web servers already have logs to track all of that, and there are lots
of tools around to give you the information you want.

This would be better for performance. Log the IP addresses and then do
gethostbyaddr() when you are inspecting the logs.

If this isn't a vital part of a security system then you're probably
better off just examining $_SERVER ['REMOTE_ADDR'] to determine where
your visitors are coming from. It is a spoofable header, so you'll
need to sanitize it before attempting to insert into a database table,
bur from what it sounds like you want to do it ought to be adequate.

Is $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] really spoofable? How? I thought it was simply
the IP of the client which connects to the HTTP server, thus determined

Not spoofable per say - but it could be pointing at a proxy server.

I think spoofable might be the wrong word. It can be misleading if the
user is connecting via a proxy though. I'm just in the habit of
treating everything that I didn't generate myself as untrustworthy.
I don't think the assumptions are flawed.
I just did a test:
print "blah blah..."
print "</body></html>";
sleep(5);
print "something else";
Now, when I monitor the network packets, my page completes as expected and
renders in a timely fashion. 5 seconds later, I get "something else" and
that is appended to the end of the rendered page and the network packets
comfirm that it is 5 seconds after the first packet for the page was
delivered. The browser did still show, "page loading" in the status bar,
though.
Without the sleep, it seems that "something else" can get stuck into the
same final page network packet. So, I'm guessing that, for efficiency, if
Apache has some buffered data due to be sent out, and more unbuffered output
is generated before that has been sent, that it will be appended to the data
that has not yet been passed on to the network transmission.
So, it seems that it is worthwhile doing a lookup after the final page
flush, as there is nothing to loose. Particularly if you are not outputing
more data to the user, but simply doing some extra work, such as logging
(for 50 users a day).
This was a linux Apache and the browser was Firefox 1.5.

That is correct. The assumptions are flawed.
And please don't top post.
I don't think the assumptions are flawed.
I just did a test:
print "blah blah..."
print "</body></html>";
sleep(5);
print "something else";
Now, when I monitor the network packets, my page completes as
expected
and renders in a timely fashion. 5 seconds later, I get
"something
else" and that is appended to the end of the rendered page and the
network packets comfirm that it is 5 seconds after the first
packet
for the page was delivered. The browser did still show, "page
loading" in the status bar, though.
Without the sleep, it seems that "something else" can get stuck
into
the same final page network packet. So, I'm guessing that, for
efficiency, if Apache has some buffered data due to be sent out,
and
more unbuffered output is generated before that has been sent,
that it
will be appended to the data that has not yet been passed on to
the
network transmission.
So, it seems that it is worthwhile doing a lookup after the final
page
flush, as there is nothing to loose. Particularly if you are not
outputing more data to the user, but simply doing some extra work,
such as logging (for 50 users a day).
This was a linux Apache and the browser was Firefox 1.5.

Thank you for following the conventions of this (and most) usenet
newsgroups.
As for your comments. It may have worked in your particular case - but
it is very dependent on a lot of things - like which webserver is being
used, which Apache modules are being loaded, how the OS is configured
and about 50 other things.
All the flush() command does is empty the PHP buffers. There is nothing
to say that the web server and/or OS have not buffered the data, and
there is no way to force them to clear their buffers.
Additionally, the </htmlis not necessarily the end of the data - it is
entirely possible to send more data after that, even though it results
in invalid html.
On the client side, your browser (which is quite old, BTW) happens to
display the data at this time. But that also doesn't mean other
browsers will - or even a newer version of your current browser.
Browsers are not required to render the page until all data has been sent.
And finally - if the data does get sent and the browser does display the
data, clicking on a link to go back to the same server can interrupt
(and terminate) the script which is still executing, depending on
factors such as your php.ini settings.
So although it worked in your case, that only means it works in your
particular case - and then not very well. Change the environment and it
may not work.

Thank you for following the conventions of this (and most) usenet
newsgroups.
Please sit down, take a deep breath, and have a coffee.
Now read my name again and compare with the OP name.
I really prefer it if you would top post. It is just my preference.
It makes reading posts easier, especially with long threads.
I guess we should discuss this once more. Agreed?
Richard.
No discussion. Whether you prefer top posting or not is immaterial.
The convention for this and most usenet newsgroups is bottom
posting. Top posting will quickly get you no responses.
And sorry - I did mix you up with Joe. It happens sometimes when
I'm in a hurry.

No, he's not gone. But if he doesn't want to follow even the simplest
usenet conventions, then he won't fit in, anyway.
I don't find usenet to be dead at all. And BTW - I never insulted him.
I just refused to answer him until he started following established
conventions. They're there for a reason.

I don't find usenet to be dead at all. And BTW - I never insulted

established conventions. They're there for a reason.
As if you are the one to decide on who fits where. I think not.
Sad to see you are slapping someone with "conventions", but dont keep
to them yourself.
What do the conventions say about quoting?
To me, the dynamics of the groups was effectively killed when the
"rules" were "formalised".
The online world has changed and those "rules" are antics.
People have moved on to friendlier places.
I call this an insult:
>>>>>I will respond when you learn not to top post - as you were so

Hardly anyone would post again. You simply go somewhere else where the
people are less hostile.

I'm not the one who sets the conventions. The newsgroup as a whole
does, and in this (and most newsgroups), the convention is to bottom post.
And yes, I also have the choice of replying to a post or not doing so.
I chose not to reply to his post because he didn't follow the
conventions here.
You are, of course, free to go somewhere else. But those who don't
follow the conventions quickly find they don't get answers to their posts.
