🔥 USAGE 🔥

😭 Why does $resolver->query() return undef when the answer section is empty? 😭

The short answer is, do not use query(). $resolver->send() will always return the response packet, as long as a response was received. periodt. 💅

The longer answer is that query() is modeled after the res_query() function from the libresolv C library, which has similar behavior. iykyk. 😌
