Description: ------------ When I run this script, I get a fatal error: Fatal error: Cannot re-assign $this in C:\Program Files\xampp\php\pear\Net\DNS\RR.php on line 60 Test script: --------------- $resolver = new Net_DNS_Resolver(); $response = $resolver->query('freemail.hu', 'MX'); if ($response) { foreach ($response->answer as $rr) { $rr->display(); } if (count($response->additional)) { foreach ($response->additional as $rr) { $rr->display(); } } } Expected result: ---------------- I expect that script to resolve the MXs of freemail.hu, this script is an example written on this page under the Net_DNS class documentation. Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Cannot re-assign $this in C:\Program Files\xampp\php\pear\Net\DNS\RR.php on line 60

I hit this bug also and found a simple solution: Just replace "$this" with "return" in the constructor of the RR.php.

Tried the above suggestion with result: PHP Warning: preg_match() expects parameter 2 to be string, object given in /usr/share/pear/Net/DNS/Resolver.php on line 1025 PHP Notice: Object of class Net_DNS_Packet to string conversion in /usr/share/pear/Net/DNS/Packet.php on line 327 PHP Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in dodns.php on line 13 PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function display() on a non-object in dodns.php on line 13

In addition to the fix proposed by Benjamin, I tried the following with success: First open the C:\Program\Files\xampp\php\pear\Net\DNS\Resolver.php file. In the implementation of the function make_query_packet(), i.e. on line 1010, do the following change: replace if (is_object($packetORname) && get_class($packetORname) == "net_dns_packet") with if (is_object($packetORname) && strtolower(get_class($packetORname)) == "net_dns_packet") Its seems that when we have a packet, the function get_class($packetORname) returns the string "Net_DNS_Packet". When trying to compare this string with the "net_dns_packet" string the comparison returns false instead of true (as expected), as there is a problem of case sensitivity. Converting to lowercase the result returned by the function get_class($packetORname) with the help of the function strtolower(get_class($packetORname)) seemed to solve the problem (at least for me). Hope this will help.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
