TODO: take a look into PECL ares and write how to migrate bundled functions.

[xming]

Or maybe port this https://code.google.com/p/netdns2/source/browse/trunk/Net/DNS2.php to use php-uv?

@xming for userland DNS take a look at react/dns. We're in the process of integrating the libuv loop so that they can be composed.

I would really like to see an updated version of the ares pecl extension though. I couldn't get the current one to work properly.

[xming]

It works for me. I am using

• Gentoo Linux
• c-ares 1.7.4
• php 5.4.13

How to:

• get http://pecl.php.net/get/ares-0.7.0.tgz then patch with https://bugs.php.net/patch-display.php?bug=63131&patch=pecl_ares_osx_support.patch&revision=1348236238
• phpize
• aclocal
• libtoolize --force
• autoheader
• autoconf
• ./configure
• make

<?php
$a = ares_init();
function cb()
{
        $argv = func_get_args();
        print_r($argv);
}
ares_gethostbyname($a, "cb", "google.com");
ares_gethostbyaddr($a, "cb", "8.8.8.8");

ares_process_all($a);
ares_destroy($a);

produces

Array

    [0] => Resource id #6
    [1] => 0
    [2] => stdClass Object
        (
            [name] => google-public-dns-a.google.com

        )

Any ideas how I can make custom queries? MX. SOA, TXT, ....

[xming]

Ah got it

ares_search($a, "cb", "google.com", ARES_T_MX);
ares_search($a, "cb", "google.com", ARES_T_SOA);

[igorw]

Cool, I was probably missing the OSX support.

[xming]

Isn't that patch from you? :D

[chobie]

yea, I sent a patch. but some features does not work properly on my osx 😢

[xming]

Such as? Maybe I can test them here on linux.
