windows support function dns_get_record() in php 5.3.8

 windows support has been enhanced to function dns_get_record()


dns_get_record()


dns_get_record function used to  Fetch DNS Resource Records associated with a hostname.


Syntax:
array dns_get_record ( string $hostname [, int $type = DNS_ANY [, array &$authns [, array &$addtl ]]] )


$hostname:


      hostname should be a valid DNS hostname such as "www.example.com". Reverse                                                lookups can be generated using in-addr.arpa notation, but gethostbyaddr() is more suitable for the majority of reverse lookups.


$type


By default, dns_get_record() will search for any resource records associated with hostname. To limit the query, specify the optional typeparameter. May be any one of the following: DNS_A, DNS_CNAME, DNS_HINFO, DNS_MX, DNS_NS, DNS_PTR, DNS_SOA, DNS_TXT, DNS_AAAA, DNS_SRV,DNS_NAPTR, DNS_A6, DNS_ALL or DNS_ANY.




$authns


Passed by reference and, if given, will be populated with Resource Records for the Authoritative Name Servers.


$addtl


Passed by reference and, if given, will be populated with any Additional Records.
