Underlying Formula / Technical Logic

The tool uses the PHP function dns_get_record to retrieve DNS records. The function takes two parameters: the domain name and a constant representing the record type (e.g., DNS_A for A records, DNS_MX for MX records, etc.). The function returns an array of DNS records if successful, or false if an error occurs.

Practical Real-World Examples

Example 1: Lookup A Records

Input: domain = example.com, record type = A Output: [{'host': 'example.com', 'ttl': 3600, 'class': 'IN', 'type': 'A', 'ip': '93.184.216.34'}]

Example 2: Lookup MX Records

Input: domain = example.com, record type = MX Output: [{'host': 'example.com', 'ttl': 3600, 'class': 'IN', 'type': 'MX', 'pri': 10, 'target': 'mail.example.com'}]
