netv6

A PHP extension that provides access to getaddrinfo.

This extensions offers a Class by the name of "NetV6" with two static methods

• getHostByName($hostname, $protocol)
• getHostByNameL($hostname, $protocol)

For $protocol you may use

• NetV6::IPV4
• NetV6::IPV6
• NetV6::DUAL

On error during lookup a NetV6Exception will be thrown with Message and Code (according to getaddrinfo)

For getHostByName NetV6::DUAL will get IPv6 and if not available IPv4 (or error) For getHostByNameL NetV6::DUAL will get both IPv6 and IPv4
