Hello, I seem to be having a little bit of trouble with executing a nslookup via PHP's passthr() function. This: passthru("nslookup -query=ns testing12345.nl", $returnVar); Returns: "Server: ns1.activedomain.nl Address: 217.148.161.5 Aliases: 5.161.148.217.in-addr.arpa 0" However, when I execute the nslookup command directly from my SSH client, I get this result (minus the ---): --- Server: ns1.activedomain.nl Address: 217.148.161.5 Aliases: 5.161.148.217.in-addr.arpa *** ns1.activedomain.nl can't find testing12345.nl: Non-existent host/domain --- For some reason passthru does not pass back the last line. And that is exactly the line that I need! I also tried exec(), system() and shell_exec() But PHP does not give me that last line. I should mention that I'm on a freeBSD system with Apache 1.3.32 and PHP 4.3.10 Can anyone help me out on this? Thanks in advance. Hans J.J.
