OK, looks like these DNS lookup functions are specific to UNIX platforms... there are two bugs reported on this issue, where both the checkdnsrr() function and the getmxrr() function don't run correctly on the Windows environment... perhaps something to do with the difference between DNS server functionality of the platforms. You'll have to look for another solution to check for valid email addresses on the Windows platform for now :( I'll submit another bug report in the meantime to try and expidite a solution. Here are the bug references for everybody's edification: Bug ids #5311 and #7058 (oddly, there also seems to be some oddity with these functions under Linux as well) http://bugs.php.net/bugs.php?id=5311 http://bugs.php.net/bugs.php?id=7058 -- Andy Hoffman Web Developer Bristol-Myers Squibb email: andy.hoffman@bms.com
