Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: *Network Functions PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This is a build-time dependency, I presume. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-02-07 16:51:12] chris at ocproducts dot com 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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79243&edit=1
