Confirmed this is a problem in my Php 5.3.13 install. With the following line:
file_get_contents("www.google.com");
If I run it in the command line, it works fine. If I run it through apache I
get the getaddrinfo failed error.
I am using Arch Linux, Kernel 3.3.7. My temporary work around is to do a full
stop and start of Apache. Restarting the service does not solve the problem.

i am having this same problem with PHP 5.3.8 on Arch Linux ... for me it is
manifesting in the IMAP_OPEN function
the call works if i use an IP Address (but the certificate files so it is not a
solution for me)
it also works if i do the call from the PHP CLI module (ie, not running in
apache)
for now i have had to add an entry in my hosts file but obviously this is not a
good long term solution

I have the same problem on SuSE, apache with php 5.3.3. I am calling fsockopen
with
tls://smtp.gmail.com, 465 and for me it seems php possibly considers tls as
wrong
characters in this place and the resolver cannot resolv the address. Adding a
proper line with an IP of smtp.gmail.com to /etc/hosts appeared to be a
provisoric
solution.

I was experiencing the same problem because the $host variable had some
additional spaces at the end. Check with var_dump() and remove invalid
characters if any are found.

My solution:
Check whether PHP may read /etc/resolv.conf.
First, do a
ls -la /etc/resolv.conf
and if it says something like this
-rw-r----- 1 root root <size> <date> /etc/resolv.conf
(i.e, NOT readable to anyone but root and the members of group root, which
normally means a highly elitist bunch :-),
then issue the following command as root:
chmod a+r /etc/resolv.conf
This cured the pesky "getaddrinfo failed" for me.

Hello,
I`ve got the same problem on my server while tried to execute some of my
scripts.
The only solution that works fine for me is to disable firewall.
When firewall is disabled I get no errors.
In the firewall settings all traffic allowed on ports 80 and 53.
