 New Comment:

The actual bug has been fixed long ago, so I'm closing this
ticket.

The not found error has been fixed in svn (5.3/trunk).

However I keep this issue open and assigned to me as I think the DNS function should not be as noisy
as they are now (what's the point of raising a warning if all one wants is to actually check a
domain...).

Description:
------------
Windows implementation of dns_get_record fails with non-existing domain

---
var_dump(dns_get_record('dalfkjdaslfj.net')); // return false, throw E_WARNING
---

This is inconsistent with the *NIX implementation, which never (in our testing, see * note at
bottom) throws E_WARNING on a non-existing domain, and returns an empty array, as demonstrated
below:

---
afischer@miraculix:~$ php -v
PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.2 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: May 13 2010 20:01:00)
Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies
    with Xdebug v2.0.5, Copyright (c) 2002-2008, by Derick Rethans

afischer@miraculix:~$ php -r "error_reporting(E_ALL);
var_dump(dns_get_record('dalfkjdaslfj.net'));"
array(0) {
}
---

There is code in dns_win32.c to attempt to catch some cases of non-existing domains, but it does not
seem to be complete.

Changing
---
		if (status) {
				if (status == DNS_INFO_NO_RECORDS) {
					continue;
---
to 
---
			if (status) {
				if (status == DNS_INFO_NO_RECORDS || status == DNS_ERROR_RCODE_NAME_ERROR) {
					continue;

---
Seems to fix the problems for me.  For reference, all error codes which can be returned by
DNSQuery_A are listed by Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681391

* I cannot say for sure if reports like http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50903 are valid.  I
do know from reading the PHP source that there are three separate *NIX implementations of
php_dns_search(), but Andreas has not investigated which one his Ubuntu server is using.  It seems
likely that this inconsistency affects NIX implementations as well.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(dns_get_record('dalfkjdaslfj.net')); // return false, throw E_WARNING
?>

Expected result:
----------------
array(0) {
}

Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)
