Doc #79243 [NEW]: Is Bind really needed?

From: chris at ocproducts dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: *Network Functions Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Is Bind really needed? Description: ------------ --- From manual page: https://php.net/network.requirements --- The documentation says "Functions checkdnsrr(), getmxrr() and dns_get_record() requires Bind on Linux.". Now I may be confused, but Bind refers only to the DNS server. I don't have this installed and can use these functions fine. Inspecting the code, as far as I can tell it is getting the functionality from glibc (libresolv.a). If I'm somehow confused, perhaps the documentation can be clarified. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79243&edit=1 -- Fix committed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79243&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79243&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79243&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79243&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79243&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79243&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79243&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79243&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79243&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79243&r=globals PHP version support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79243&r=phptooold Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79243&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79243&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79243&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79243&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79243&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79243&r=mysqlcfg
