#47437 [Fbk->Opn]: fsockopen doesn't work with DNS names, only IPs

ID: 47437 User updated by: ogi at triangle dot bg Reported By: ogi at triangle dot bg -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Sockets related Operating System: Windows XP Pro SP3 PHP Version: 5.2.9RC2 Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: 'localhost' and system host names (both short host name and FQDN) behave like already described. I've just found out that other host names that are not the local system work fine. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-18 16:02:13] pajoye@php.net Any hostname or only localhost? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-02-18 14:55:18] ogi at triangle dot bg Description: ------------ Any DNS name passed to fsockopen is not recognized. Everything in the system works fine with DNS names - Firefox, nslookup command-line utility, DNS Client service is started. If it matters, PHP is installed as module in Apache 2.2.10. Reproduce code: --------------- var_dump(fsockopen(gethostbyname('localhost'), 80)); var_dump(fsockopen('localhost', 80)); Expected result: ---------------- resource(2) of type (stream) resource(3) of type (stream) Actual result: -------------- resource(2) of type (stream) Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to localhost:80 (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. ) in C:\Program Files\drupal\i.php on line 4 bool(false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47437&edit=1
