note 93049 added to function.gethostbyaddr

In the sample code gethostbyaddr_timeout there is a bug with the random transaction generation piece. It can generate a single byte which malforms the packet as it is not correctly padded. Verifying the 2 bytes seems to work well. This is around the lines: $data = rand(0, 99); // trim it to 2 bytes $data = substr($data, 0, 2); You can change to: $data = rand(10, 99); for a quick and dirty fix. ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 206.210.161.13 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gethostbyaddr.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/93049 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93049/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93049/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93049/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93049/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93049/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93049/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93049 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/93049 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
