Can anyone help?>> Please

checkdnsrr() is used to make sure the email the new customer has entered is a valid email address and most likely can only be used if you are running your shopping cart on a SERVER that supports this kind of action...I ran into the same problem when signing up when running the cart on my computer, except that it didn't like sending SMTP emails out...which of course fixed itself when i put it on a real server...

checkdnsrr()

 

Checks DNS records corresponding

to a given Internet host name or IP address.

 

 

sorry about that >:)

Ok that last answer was a total crock.

The reason we get the Fatal error Call to undefined Function Checkdnsrr() is very simple. Your cart is on a Windows box.

The Checkdnsrr function is not implemented in PHP running on windows.

 

I have a very simple solution that will do almost exactly the same thing.

 

Go to your includes/functions/general.php and find the last line before the ?>

Then add this:

 

////

// Check for Valid Email Address

function tep_CheckDNSRR($domain, $type = '' )

{

if( !empty( $domain ) )

{

# Set Default Type:

if( $type == '' ) $type = "MX";

@exec( "nslookup -type=$type $domain", $output );

while( list( $k, $line ) = each( $output ) )

{

# Valid records begin with host name:

if( eregi( "^$domain", $line ) )

{

# record found:

return true;

}

}

return false;

}

}

 

Then go to your includes/functions/validations.php

find this line:

 

if ($valid_address && ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS_CHECK == 'true') {

if (!checkdnsrr($domain, "MX") && !checkdnsrr($domain, "A")) {

$valid_address = false;

}

}

return $valid_address;

}

 

Change it to this:

 

if ($valid_address && ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS_CHECK == 'true') {

if (!tep_CheckDNSRR($domain,"MX") && !tep_CheckDNSRR($domain,"A")) {

$valid_address = false;

}

}

 

return $valid_address;

}

 

Then go into the admin->configuration->email setttings and set to validate email through dns.

That should do it for you.

I know that this will at least make sure the email address if from a real domain with an MX and A record.

Let me know how it works out.
