Hello again, I just dicovered that the garbage chars not only appear at the end of a TXT record. Example: nslookup -type=TXT 82.19.186.195.aspath.routeviews.org Returns: text = "13237 3303 44038" "195.186.0.0" "17" This DNS request returns 3 Strings. If I do this with dns_get_record the strings are concatenated (containing a garbage char between the strings) BTW: Is it really a good idea to concatenate this strings? Wouldn't it better to return a array containing this strings? Example: the anwers from routeviews.org are really hard (if not impossible) to parse in this way: "13237 3303 44038195.186.0.017" it would be better in this way: array("13237 3303 44038","195.186.0.0","17") Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-08 17:20:39] fel...@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS.
