The "unexpected T_ELSE" error should tell you at or around the line number and script name that it found the issue. Double check your if/else syntax in that script.

You aren't running this on a windows server, are you?

Note: This function is not implemented on Windows platforms. Try the PEAR class Net_DNS.
