#38084 [NEW]: why the 'checkdnsrr()' function is not implemented in windows.

From: usalabs6131 at gmail dot com Operating system: windows xp pro PHP version: 4.4.2 PHP Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Bug description: why the 'checkdnsrr()' function is not implemented in windows. Description: ------------ As the 'checkdnsrr()' function is not implemented on a windows platform, I suggest to make it available to windows, because there are some scripts that actually use it, such as bitweaver content manager to validate a new registration via email. I'm not going to use the most complicated operating system ever devised (Linux), just to use bitweaver. I say, if a script requires a certain function, then it should be implemented into a windows platform for those that use windows. Reproduce code: --------------- elseif( $gBitSystem->isFeatureActive( 'validateUsers' ) ) { list ( $Username, $domain ) = split ("@",$pEmail); // That MX(mail exchanger) record exists in domain check . // checkdnsrr function reference : http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.checkdnsrr.php if ( checkdnsrr ( $domain, "MX" ) ) { if($gDebug) echo "Confirmation : MX record about {$domain} exists.<br>"; // If MX record exists, save MX record address. Expected result: ---------------- an implementation in windows to enable email validation Actual result: -------------- FATAL! call, undefined function checkdnsrr() in d:\content\users\bituser.php line 437 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38084&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38084&r=mysqlcfg
