New Comment:
Yeah, I guess you're right - even though getmxrr worked perfectly fine
just before I compiled and upgraded PHP 5.1.4. Must be a problem with
my machine that PHP 5.1.4 exposed. I guess that's not a bug, although
it certainly cost me in web app failure until I found out that it was a
PHP call that had worked on that server fine for 5 years and suddenly
was broken with a new PHP version. But, ya know, I think I'll tell my
clients that were very upset about it that it's a PHP bug, anyway,
because I sure didn't change anything else on the server!

Obviously something is wrong on your FC4 machine and nobody except you
can find out what exactly is broken there.

Doesn't work here (FC 4 machine), but checkdnsrr does:

Works perfectly fine here:
# php -r 'var_dump(getmxrr("yahoo.com", $var)); var_dump($var);'
bool(true)
array(4) {
[0]=>
string(18) "mx3.mail.yahoo.com"
[1]=>
string(18) "mx4.mail.yahoo.com"
[2]=>
string(18) "mx1.mail.yahoo.com"
[3]=>

}

Description:
------------
After upgrading from PHP 4.4.1 to PHP 5.1.4, the getmxrr function
ceased to work. It does not throw an error message, but simply
terminates the HTTP response at the call. I've switched to checkdnsrr,
which works fine, and is probably a more appropriate call, but since
getmxrr is still in the documentation for version 5, this appears to be
a bug.
Reproduce code:
---------------
if (getmxrr($host, $email)) return TRUE;
Expected result:
----------------
TRUE returned if $email corresponds to a domain with an MX record;
FALSE otherwise.
Actual result:
--------------
Termination of HTTP response. Neither TRUE nor FALSE returned.
Nothing appears in the Apache error log.
