I've fielded a number of complaints about the lack of Win32 support for dns_get_record/dns_get_mx/get_check_record and sadly I have to tell them that the limitation is not in PHP but in Windows (lack of proper libresolv).
After reading up on the RFCs and writting a non-libresolv based extension ( http://169.229.139.97/ if anyone cares to look ) version of these functions I discovered that there's already a perfectly good (much better in fact -- handles all RFC DNS types and classes) PEAR class which will do exactly the same thing and doesn't require adding bloat to PHP. Anyway, my question is... Would it be appropriate to ammend the notes which currently show on those manual pages: Note: This function is not implemented on Windows platforms. with a mention of the PEAR alternative?: Note: This function is not implemented on Windows platforms. Try the pear class Net_DNS. Possibly with a link to the package ( http://pear.php.net/package-info.php?pacid=59 ) The thing is I don't see a lot of endorsement of PEAR classes on the PHP.net site in general and I've NEVER seen mention of PEAR packages in the manual at all. -Pollita -- PHP Documentation Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
