Makes sense to me...

The first step should be making it a woring function with an agreed prototype and behaviour. I guess we would need some new datatype definitions to make this happen. So this would require some more work not needed directly.
I made a new version which allows the use of a bitmask for the type parameter as suggested by Derick. You can now do dns_get_resord(...,DNS_ANY) dns_get_resord(...,DNS_ALL) dns_get_resord(...,DNS_MX) dns_get_resord(...,DNS_MX|DNS_SOA|...) DNS_ANY|DNS_xxx is not allowed. http://marcus-boerger.de/dns_get_record.diff marcus -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
