I have an email validation script written in PHP that works on most Apache machines I try it on, with the exception (of course) of my production box that it needs to go on. This production machine is a Slackware 10.2 box, running Apache 1.33 and PHP 4.4.0. The script works if I call it from the command line with "PHP -f filename" however, if I try to call the same script from a browser (served by httpd) the DNS check is never made, and the script returns that the domain of the email address is invalid. This sounds to me like httpd is missing whatever modules/plugin it uses to execute a DNS lookup requested from PHP for a given page. Why else would the page work when called from the command line, but fail when called from httpd? Thoughts?
