@cvladan thanks for using the library. In the documentation it is stated:
If you must use this library for any of the above purposes, please consider integrating an updating mechanism into your software.
For more information go to the Managing external data source section
Downloading and storing have been resolve in PHP community by more robust and battle tested architectures and packages so this package leverage on that knowledge to focus on what it does best domain name resolution. That being said, you can always submit some documentation improvements via a PR and I will be happy to review and integrate them to the current documentation.
The documentation has been updated to highlight the need for a copy of the externals resources for the package to work as intended
First and foremost, I express gratitude to the author for the time and effort he dedicated to developing this library.
I wish to point out that this library addresses a problem I rarely face, yet I am eager to resolve it swiftly. However, the provided instructions are remarkably unclear.
Nowhere, I emphasize, nowhere does it state that one must download a DAT list of domains. Surely, it would not be overly burdensome to pen such a directive and indicate the appropriate address from which to download the DAT file? I guess it is
https://publicsuffix.org/list/public_suffix_list.dat
. Or not?Additionally, I presume I am also responsible for updating that DAT file, am I not?
This info has regrettably cost me a good 30 minutes of comprehension. ... I'm puzzled. What is proper way. And why those files are not updated with library?
Nonetheless, I sincerely thank the author for his effort.
