This package contains a class that can fetch DNS records.
use Spatie\Dns\Dns;
$dns = new Dns();
$dns->getRecords('spatie.be'); // returns all available dns records
$dns->getRecords('spatie.be', 'A'); // returns only A recordsYou can use various methods to retrieve info of a record.
$records = $dns->getRecords('spatie.be')
$hostNameOfFirstRecord = $records[0]->host();
We invest a lot of resources into creating best in class open source packages. You can support us by buying one of our paid products.
We highly appreciate you sending us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using. You'll find our address on our contact page. We publish all received postcards on our virtual postcard wall.
If you do not have dig installed you will need it.
You can install the package via composer:
composer require spatie/dnsThe class can get these record types: A, AAAA, CNAME, NS, PTR, SOA, MX, SRV, TXT, DNSKEY, CAA, NAPTR.
use Spatie\Dns\Dns;
$dns = new Dns();
$dns->getRecords('spatie.be'); // returns all available dns records
$dns->getRecords('spatie.be', 'A'); // returns only A records
$dns->getRecords('spatie.be', ['A', 'CNAME']); // returns both A and CNAME records
$dns->getRecords('spatie.be', DNS_MX); // returns only MX records
$dns->getRecords('spatie.be', DNS_A | DNS_AAAA); // returns both A and AAAA recordsgetRecords will return an array with objects that implement the Spatie\Dns\Records\Record interface.
Here's how you can fetch the first A-record of a domain.
$ARecord = $dns->getRecords('spatie.be', 'A')[0];These methods can be called on all records:
host(): returns the host (spatie.be)ttl(): return the time to live (900)class(): returns the class (IN)type(): returns the type (A)
When converting a record to a string you'll get a string with all info separated with tabs.
(string)$ARecord // returns `spatie.be. 900 IN A 138.197.187.74`Some records have additional methods available. For example, records of type A have an additional ip() method. To know which extra methods there are, check the docblocks above all record classes in the source code.
You can get records from a specific nameserver.
use Spatie\Dns\Dns;
(new Dns)
->useNameserver('ns1.openminds.be') // use ns1.openminds.be
->getRecords('spatie.be');When you have a string that contains a dns record, you can convert it to a Record
use \Spatie\Dns\Support\Factory();
// returns instance of \Spatie\Dns\Records\CNAME
(new Factory())->guess('www.spatie.be. 300 IN CNAME spatie.be.');A Handler is responsible for fetching DNS records of a certain type.
By default, these handlers that ship with the package are used:
Spatie\Dns\Handler\DigSpatie\Dns\Handler\DnsGetRecord
You can create custom handlers. A valid handler is any class that extends from Spatie\Dns\Handler\Handler.
A custom handler class can be used by passing it to useHandlers on Spatie\Dns\Dns.
$results = $this->dns
->useHandlers([new YourCustomHandler()])
->getRecords('spatie.be');We will use dig to fetch DNS info. If it is not installed on your system, we'll call the native dns_get_record() function.
