Method Detail

Net_DNS_Packet (Constructor)   [line 143]

Net_DNS_Packet Net_DNS_Packet( [boolean $debug = false])

Initalizes a Net_DNS_Packet object

Parameters:

boolean   $debug   —  Turns debugging on or off

[ Top ]

buildQuestion   [line 159]

void buildQuestion( string $name, [string $type = 'A'], [string $class = 'IN'])

Adds a DNS question to the DNS packet

Parameters:

string   $name   —  The name of the record to query
string   $type   —  The type of record to query
string   $class   —  The class of record to query

[ Top ]

data   [line 321]

string data( )

Build a packet from a Packet object hierarchy

Builds a valid DNS packet suitable for sending to a DNS server or resolver client containing all of the data in the packet hierarchy.

  • Return: A binary string containing a DNS Packet

[ Top ]

display   [line 594]

void display( )

Prints out the packet in a human readable formatted string

[ Top ]

dn_comp   [line 365]

string dn_comp( string $name, integer $offset)

DNS packet compression method

Returns a domain name compressed for a particular packet object, to be stored beginning at the given offset within the packet data. The name will be added to a running list of compressed domain names for future use.


Parameters:

string   $name   —  The name of the label to compress
integer   $offset   —  The location offset in the packet to where the label will be stored.

[ Top ]

dn_expand   [line 406]

array dn_expand( string $packet, integer $offset)

DNS packet decompression method

Expands the domain name stored at a particular location in a DNS packet. The first argument is a variable containing the packet data. The second argument is the offset within the packet where the (possibly) compressed domain name is stored.

  • Return: Returns a list of type array($name, $offset) where $name is the name of the label which was decompressed and $offset is the offset of the next field in the packet. Returns array(null, null) on error

Parameters:

string   $packet   —  The packet data
integer   $offset   —  The location offset in the packet of the label to decompress.

[ Top ]

label_extract   [line 470]

array label_extract( string $packet, integer $offset)

DNS packet decompression method

Extracts the label stored at a particular location in a DNS packet. The first argument is a variable containing the packet data. The second argument is the offset within the packet where the (possibly) compressed domain name is stored.

  • Return: Returns a list of type array($name, $offset) where $name is the name of the label which was decompressed and $offset is the offset of the next field in the packet. Returns array(null, null) on error

Parameters:

string   $packet   —  The packet data
integer   $offset   —  The location offset in the packet of the label to extract.

[ Top ]

parse   [line 192]

boolean parse( string $data)

Parses a DNS packet returned by a DNS server

Parses a complete DNS packet and builds an object hierarchy containing all of the parts of the packet:

  • HEADER
  • QUESTION
  • ANSWER || PREREQUISITE
  • ADDITIONAL || UPDATE
  • AUTHORITY

  • Return: true on success, null on parser error

Parameters:

string   $data   —  A binary string containing a DNS packet

[ Top ]

parse_question   [line 508]

array parse_question( string $data, integer $offset)
