note 87172 added to function.getmxrr

On the example below if getmxrr does not exist it will try with fsockopen. This way it works for windows without getmxrr ... <?php function validate_email($email) { //by Femi Hasani [www.vision.to] if(!preg_match ("/^[\w\.-]{1,}\@([\da-zA-Z-]{1,}\.){1,}[\da-zA-Z-]+$/", $email)) return false; list($prefix, $domain) = split("@",$email); if(function_exists("getmxrr") && getmxrr($domain, $mxhosts)) { return true; } elseif (@fsockopen($domain, 25, $errno, $errstr, 5)) { return true; } else { return false; } } ?> Usefull and simple solution ... else it can be added fisrt to check os and function than create a widows version of getmxrr .... <?php if(!defined("OS")) { @php_uname();//detect server OS if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) === 'WIN') { define("OS","WIN");//define OS contsant } else { define("OS","Other"); } } if(!function_exists("getmxrr") && OS == "WIN") { function getmxrr () { your windows version ... } } ?> Hope this helps ... ---- Server IP: 212.63.193.10 Probable Submitter: 81.170.222.214 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getmxrr.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/87172 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87172/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87172/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87172/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87172/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87172/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87172/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/87172 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/87172 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
