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 ======== [](#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. ``` $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*** ``` $ 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 =============== [](#resolve-options) The second parameter to the resolve method can be used to define the desired record type to return. Below is a list of the available record types.

The reason for this is that Redbox-dns comes without the require vendor directory which is required to run the package. First of all if you don't have composer installed you can find it [here](https://getcomposer.org/) follow the instructions and don't get intimidated in fact its really really easy to install. In the this sample i will assume you have composer installed (on any machine). Go to the package root (where composer.json is located) and execute the following command. ``` $ composer install --no-dev ``` Unit Testing ------------ [](#unit-testing) Redbox-dns comes with a suite of tests that you can run.
