If you want to display DNS lookup details as formatted table, do that as following.

	$details ='';
	$data = '';
		  foreach ($rec as $arr => $num){
			  $details .='';
				 foreach ($num as $title => $value){
					 if(!is_array($value)){
						$details .='';
					 }
				 }
			  $details .='';
		  }
	$data .=$details.'
'.$value.'
';
	echo '
'.$data.'
';
