checkdnsrr() returns wrong info

Question

$dname = \"accurst.com\";
$recordexists = checkdnsrr($dname, \"ANY\");

if ($recordexists) 
  echo $dname.\" is taken. Sorry!
\";
else 
  echo $dname.\" is          


        

Answer 1

Unfortunately the function:

returns FALSE if no records were found or if an error occurred.

So "no result" does not really mean anything decisive.

I would also look for A and CNAME records, for example:

$dname = "accurst.com";
echo checkdnsrr($dname, "A");

prints 1
