Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Network related
Operating System: Windows XP SP2
PHP Version: 6CVS-2007-01-25 (snap)
New Comment:
Just because some Windows API doesn't return what we want doesn't mean
PHP isn't responsible for that. I think it's quite interesting that PHP
has it's problems when running as fastCGI under Windows. I just glanced
at the source and found some interesting comment:
---
cgi_main.c,L1264: for windows, socket listening is broken in the
fastcgi library itself so dissabling this feature on windows till time
is available to fix it
---
I'm not sure what exactly was disabled, since fastcgi works so far, but
there might be side-effects.
So I think it's worth to take a second look on that error.

Not PHP problem.

It just came into my mind that other PHP functions will also need to
resolve names. So I tried this one:
$a = file_get_contents("http://www.google.de";);
This results on PHP-CGI with Apache in:
Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]:
php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Der angegebene Host ist
unbekannt. in D:\path\file.php
So some Windows-API-function is failing.
Btw, hosts is world readable (I think that's the way it should be,
right) on my system so that can hardly be the reason.

>I mean, its written in hosts.
Then the CGI binary should have enough privileges to read it.

I justed tried to disable my firewall. It didn't make any difference.
Besides, asking for the address of localhost shouldn't need any network
traffic, should it? I mean, its written in hosts.

Please make sure your firewall does not block DNS requests issued by
gethostbynamel().
Just disable the firewall for some time.
And please use 5.2, not PHP6.
PHP6 is in pre-alpha stage, which means it's a bit early to test it
yet.
