I want to do a rDNS check on a admin entered host name to insure
in-coming mail servers don't reject mail, sent by my app, because the
rDNS doesn't exist or doesn't match.
Here is the fundamental code:
$host = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; //site name shared or not
$ip = gethostbyname($host);
$hostName = gethostbyaddr($ip); //May be different on a shared host
$ip2 = gethostbyname($hostName);
Throw in a filter_var() check with the FILTER_VALIDATE_IP flag?
if ( filter_var($hostName, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP) === TRUE ) {
# This is an IP
# do something
}
Or do a conditional check
if ( $hostName === $ip2 ) {
# no change...
# handle no resolution issue.
}
The $ip works fine.
However, one of the shared hosts I'm working with returns this instead
of the original $host
gethostbyaddr($ip)=> 93.247.128.148-static.foo.com [foo is subs for actual]
gethostbyname($hostName)=> 93.247.128.148-static.foo.com It appears
gethostbyname() is just returning $hostName because it is not legit.
Using just the foo.com in gethostbyname() returns the host's server IP.
Thus, the typical rDNS check fails for this site. Several online checks
also report rDNS fails.
Any suggestions how I can handle this?
I have some additional tests already. Left them out of this dialog to just
focus on the essential problem. I check the syntax and stuff before it gets to
this code
