PHP library for modifying an PowerDNS MySQL database

Usage

//setup the database config
$db = array(
     'host'     =>  'localhost'
    ,'user'     =>  'pdns'
    ,'password' =>  ''
    ,'driver'   =>  'mysql'
    ,'port'     =>  3306
);
Config::set('pdns.db',$db); unset($db);

//getters
$domain = PDNS::fetchDomain('test.com');
$domain = PDNS::fetchDomainByHost('www.test.com');
$record = PDNS::fetchRecord(array('id'=>1));

//update - updates or creates record and finds it by ident
//this is the main function unless advanced actions are needed
$rv = PDNS::update('www.test.com','1.2.4.5','A');
if($rv === false)
    throw new Exception('Failed to update record: www.test.com');

//delete a record the preferred way
$rv = PDNS::delete('www.test.com','1.2.3.4','A');

//raw create record
$id = PDNS::createRecord(array(
     'domain_id'        =>  1
    ,'name'             =>  'ww1.test.com'
    ,'type'             =>  'A'
    ,'content'          =>  '1.2.3.4'
    ,'ttl'              =>  60
    ,'prio'             =>  ''
));


//update raw record
$rv = PDNS::updateRecord(1,array('type'=>'CNAME','content'=>'test.com'));

//delete raw record
$rv = PDNS::deleteRecord(array('id'=>1));
