alternative solutions to dns_get_record ?

[graziano]

Hello I need code to extract dns records from urls .

I found the solution http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dns-get-record.php

but on my linux server red hat 7.2 (php 4.2.3) dns_get_record is not supported 🙁

Is there any alternative solution to get dns records using php ?

thanks

Boring perl? I hardly think so....

an alternative would be:

function getDNSRecord($host)
{
	ob_start();
		passthru("/usr/bin/dig $host");
		$lookup = ob_get_contents();
	ob_end_clean();
	// do more processing to $lookup...
	return $lookup;
}
