#40234 [Bgs]: Still can be PHP's fault.

ID: 40234 User updated by: silverbanana at gmx dot de -Summary: getaddrinfo ain't working, i think. Reported By: silverbanana at gmx dot de Status: Bogus Bug Type: Network related Operating System: Windows XP SP2 PHP Version: 6CVS-2007-01-25 (snap) New Comment: Just because some Windows API doesn't return what we want doesn't mean PHP isn't responsible for that. I think it's quite interesting that PHP has it's problems when running as fastCGI under Windows. I just glanced at the source and found some interesting comment: --- cgi_main.c,L1264: for windows, socket listening is broken in the fastcgi library itself so dissabling this feature on windows till time is available to fix it --- I'm not sure what exactly was disabled, since fastcgi works so far, but there might be side-effects. So I think it's worth to take a second look on that error.

So I tried this one: $a = file_get_contents("http://www.google.de"); This results on PHP-CGI with Apache in: Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Der angegebene Host ist unbekannt. in D:\path\file.php So some Windows-API-function is failing. Btw, hosts is world readable (I think that's the way it should be, right) on my system so that can hardly be the reason. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-25 22:01:12] tony2001@php.net >I mean, its written in hosts. Then the CGI binary should have enough privileges to read it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-25 21:52:59] silverbanana at gmx dot de I justed tried to disable my firewall. It didn't make any difference. Besides, asking for the address of localhost shouldn't need any network traffic, should it? I mean, its written in hosts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-01-25 15:43:42] tony2001@php.net Please make sure your firewall does not block DNS requests issued by gethostbynamel(). Just disable the firewall for some time. And please use 5.2, not PHP6. PHP6 is in pre-alpha stage, which means it's a bit early to test it yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
