How can PHP developers ensure that DNS is properly configured for IP addresses in their applications?

PHP developers can ensure that DNS is properly configured for IP addresses in their applications by using the gethostbyaddr() function to retrieve the hostname associated with a given IP address. This can help verify that the IP address is correctly mapped to a domain name in the DNS configuration. 

$ip_address = '192.168.1.1';
$hostname = gethostbyaddr($ip_address);

if ($hostname === $ip_address) {
    echo 'DNS is not properly configured for this IP address.';
} else {
    echo 'DNS is properly configured for this IP address.';
}
