Seasons greetings folks
I'm pretty sure that this problem has nothing to do with PHP and a whole lot
to do with my server config, but I've got no idea where to start.
On my server I can't get any of the network functions to work, eg getmxrr()
returns an empty array whereas on another server it will return a populated
array.
Sendmail functions perfectly and I can ping the remote machines, so it's not
a problem with iptables stopping outgoing traffic, or with named.
Is anyone able to send me in the right direction ?
TIA

Maybe your server has a firewall which blocks the ports that these
PHP/network-commands use?

Nope, not unless Mandrake has set up its own firewall ...
[root@fred root]# iptables -L

What happens when you try
$ host -t MX yahoo.com
I did it right now and got:
yahoo.com mail is handled by 1 mx1.mail.yahoo. com.
yahoo.com mail is handled by 1 mx2.mail.yahoo. com.
yahoo.com mail is handled by 5 mx4.mail.yahoo. com.
But, on my machine, php's getmxrr() works as expected :)

Your DNS is probably not allowing to forward requests, i.e. only
responds for requests about you machine domains.
In that case you may want to try this DNS resolver class that lets you
configures some other (open) DNS to ask about other domains. It comes
with GetMXRR() emulation function.
Class: DNSResolver http://www.phpclasses.org/phpresolver
This class also has been used by this other e-mail address validation
class to handle situations when GetMXRR() is not function, like for
instance under Windows or when in DNS forwarding is disabled as it seems
to be your case.
Class: E-mail address validation class http://www.phpclasses.org/emailvalidation

Now I'm *really* confused ...
[meetakiwi@fred meetakiwi]$ host -t MX yahoo.com
yahoo.com mail is handled by 1 mx1.mail.yahoo. com.
yahoo.com mail is handled by 1 mx2.mail.yahoo. com.
yahoo.com mail is handled by 5 mx4.mail.yahoo. com.
[meetakiwi@fred meetakiwi]$ host -t MX xtra.co.nz
xtra.co.nz mail is handled by 10 mta.xtra.co.nz.
Is it possible that PHP thinks it's on a Windows machine instead of Linux ?
okay, I'm clutching at straws here !
Cheers
Mike

Are you sure you didn't somehow change the host name?
$ php -r 'if(getmxrr("xt ra.co.nz2", $a)) print_r($a); else echo "FALSE\n";'
FALSE
$ php -r 'if(getmxrr("xt ra.co.nz", $a)) print_r($a); else echo "FALSE\n";'
Array
(
[0] => mta.xtra.co.nz
)

*YAYYYYYYYYYYYY YYY* !!!
Thank you !!! It turns out that for getmxrr() to work under Apache, the
server directive HostnameLookups must be On, not Off !
Thanks Pedro :-) May you have a wonderful New Year :-) This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi group,
I have an includefile that I (ahum) include in many scripts.
It contains only functions I need now and then.
Now I was wondering how things work behind the scenes.
Is the whole file loaded and compiled/interpreted every time a php-file is
used that includes this file?

i'm learning how to do some basic low-level network programming. the site
i'm reading talks about "network byte order" and "host byte order". the
thing is, it doesn't give an explanation as to what they are.
i understand most of what the main socket functions do, but i don't
understand what's up with this network byte order stuff.
could someone explain?
