# Redbox-dns
Redbox-dns can be used to quickly query dns records a given domain. The API it self is extremely easy to use but you can always check out the [examples](https://github.com/johnnymast/redbox-dns/tree/master/examples) directory for some examples.
# Examples
In the examples directory you find usecases on how you can this class. Below you find an extremely easy way of receiving the mx records for Google.com and print them out. You can find this example once again in the examples directory.
```php
$resolver = new \Redbox\DNS\Resolver();
$resolver->resolve('google.com', DNS_MX);
foreach($resolver as $record) {
if ($record['type'] == 'MX')
echo $record['type'] . ' ' . $record['pri'] . ' '. $record['target']."\n";
};
```
***ouput***
```bash
$ php ./mxrecords.php
MX 30 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com
MX 20 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com
MX 40 alt3.aspmx.l.google.com
MX 50 alt4.aspmx.l.google.com
MX 10 aspmx.l.google.com
```
# Resolve Options

| DNS_HINFO | HINFO | Host Info Resource |
| DNS_MX | MX | Mail Exchanger Resource |
| DNS_NS | NS | Authoritative Name Server Resource |
| DNS_PTR | PTR | Pointer Resource (Reverse DNS) |
| DNS_SOA | SOA | Start of Authority Resource |
| DNS_TXT | TXT | Text Resource |
| DNS_AAAA | AAAA | Pv6 Address Resource |
| DNS_SRV | SRV | Service record (SRV record) |
| DNS_NAPTR | NAPTR | Name Authority Pointer |

```
