Ok, this is Netscape shots http://www.dynamix-tn.com/28dec2002/Image1.png
If you want with lynx i'll do it, it's always the same. Better, i can do this : $sockhandle = @fsockopen("http://www.dynamix-tn.com/index-old.php", 80, &$errno, &$errstr); if(!$sockhandle) { echo "<center><h5>server dynamix-tn.com not available!: $errno : $errstr</h5></center>"; } else { echo "<center><h5>server dynamix-tn.com is available!: $errno : $errstr</h5></center>"; } and run it from here, it return server not available. ----- Original Message ----- From: Leif K-Brooks To: Hatem Ben Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 28, 2002 10:49 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] how could a php script return a dns error ? No, it is IE specific. It's IE's general error message, which means the document contains no data in this case.

It's not really a dns error, that the general error that MS Internet Explorer spits out when it can't find the file, as opposed to showing you the erro 404 file not found ... PHP cannot give a dns error, looks like your just linking to a file that doesn't exist and that's IE's friendly way of telling you so ... yes .. a bit confusing to the developer. (Thanks again MS...) Try it with netscape, and I bet you'll get a 'file not found' error instead... Paul. -- The above message is encrypted with double rot13 encoding.
