Introduction

PHP DNS functions don't have a timeout while the default timeout for dig is 5 seconds (with several (3) tries)

It should drastically decrease time to get dns records, and lower failure errors like dns_get_record(): A temporary server error occurred.

Installation

Install the latest version with

$ composer require fhferreira/php-dig

Usage

$client = new Hostinger\DigClient();
$result = $client->getRecord('hostinger.com', DNS_MX);

This is equal to

dns_get_record('hostinger.com', DNS_MX);

Package checks if it can run exec in server environment, otherwise it will fallback to dns_get_record().

DigClient implements LoggerAwareInterface

You can set logger to debug / log package activity

$client = new Hostinger\DigClient();
$logger = new \Monolog\Logger\Logger('App');
$logger->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('path/to/your.log'));
$client->setLogger($logger);
