Well, very simple question. So that's good news for you, I guess.

More thorough explanation:

I have a PHP script allowing me to add urls to a database. I want the script to resolve the url to an IP address as well, to store that, too. However, some of the URLs are like this:

http://111.111.111.111/~example/index.php

So it also needs to work with that.

I'm not SURE that this is possible, but it only makes sense it would be.

So: Is it possible, and if so, how?
