Three months ago I installed an XAMPP on my workstation to host my local test server . It had been working fine until yesterday. Today I found that most of my php files could not be displayed on web browsers (Firefox, Netscape, and IE). The file loading kept going and going with no ending. I could not figure out what caused the problem. As an example, the following php script I ran it successfully just a few days ago, but I could not run it today because of endless page loading on browse. I will much appreciate if you have any ideas and thoughts.

//Input a domain name (address), then find all email server names (addresses)
//registered on the domain. This is a workaround for function getmxrr() which is
//not supported by MS Windows. To make it work with Windows, you need to use
//this modified getmxrr()
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------

function getmxrr($hostname, &$mxhosts)
{
$mxhosts = array();
exec('nslookup -type=mx '.$hostname, $result_arr);
foreach($result_arr as $line)
{
if (preg_match("/.*mail exchanger = (.*)/", $line, $matches))
//$matches is a array with two elements, but we are interested in $matches[1] only
$mxhosts[] = $matches[1]; //Get mailserver (mail exchanger) address from $matches[1]
//$mxhosts[] = $matches[0]; //Get domain, preference and mailserver in a string
}
//return array $mxhosts > 0 );
return $mxhosts;
}//--End of workaround
