It looks like this function isn't available on windows.
Here is my code:
<?PHP
$var
= gethostname();
IF (
$var===FALSE) {
 echo
"The function ran but no results were returned!";
}
ELSE {
 echo
"The function returned a value\n\r";
 echo
$var;
}
?>
I received  an error:
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function gethostname() "
