Still experiencing same as what "max at nextcloud dot com" stated but with DNS_NS and with PHP 8. This cannot be a doc bug. It must be when the records cannot be found, ie the given domain does not exist etc.

We ran into this when querying for 'DNS_A', 'DNS_AAAA' or 'DNS_CNAME' records.

Code in question is here: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/blob/master/lib/private/Http/Client/DnsPinMiddleware.php#L83

It looks like this is independent of the type - just that 'DNS_ANY' requests are mor likely to cause a server failure.

However even with a server failure there should be a way to handle the situation - either by returning false or by throwing a well defined error that can be caught.

Okay, changing to doc bug then.  Thanks!

This error is due to the fact that the default value for the $type argument is DNS_ANY, which is ignored by most DNS servers.

dns_get_record('radioantwerpen.be') doesn't work, but dns_get_record('radioantwerpen.be', DNS_A) does.

Is this still an issue with any of the actively supported PHP
versions[1]?
