Just add @ before checkdnsrr:
list($userName, $mailDomain) = split("@", $buyer_email);
if (@checkdnsrr($mailDomain, "MX")) {
But you shouldn't use @ as it will make a PITA to find errors in your code
when maintaining it. You should not display Warnings on production too, at
least not for users but instead log those.

Sure.
if (@checkdnsrr($mailDomain,'MX'))

if ( @checkdnsrr($mailDomain, "MX") ) {
might work.. the @ symbol usually suppresses the error

Guess I've not explained this very well.
The external page I am fetching using another curl script has asp query
hyperlinks in it. I do not know the variable names in each query or the
values they have.
All I want to do is replace the external url referenced in those links with
a url which is on my site (so that I can change style sheet, image locations
etc.) but the parameters to the original asp query link have to be captured
and passed to my php script for it to return data. I know there must be a
way of doing this as there's a site which is referencing the same third
party site and doing the same thing, and no, they won't tell me how!

Bob,
There's several issues with this.
1) They're providing the info which you're trying to pass it as your own and
most likely that they won't get any positive results, as some company do
analysis on visits to improve the marketing strategy, customer service,
customer relations, etc. You're just skewing their data analysis and
prevent them from becoming successful. Which may force them to go out of
business then you'll lose your source of information.
2) Waste of bandwidth. 3rd party > you > user instead of just you > user.
3) I'm don't like that fact that some people take others work and try to
pass it as their own. I think many folks on this list feels the same way.
So why not just quote them and give them the credit they deserve. That's
probably the reason why you're not able to find much info on how to do this
:)
Regards,
Tommy

Thanks to all for your interest so far but as I said, new to PHP. Changed
POST to GET and all now working fine!
Tommy, the third party site is fully aware of what I am doing. We pay them
to use the data, as do lots of other companies in our industry. Supplying
data is what they do. We could not use the site at all without being given a
valid user name. Far from 'preventing them being successful' the more users
they have the more successful they become. We do not 'pass the work as our
own' they are credited on our site as suppliers of the content, so there
really is no issue there.

It's been almost a decade since I've seen 'PEBKAC' used :)
