Hi, Im looking for a WHOIS lookup for my site. I have used CWHOIS but am currently having problems getting it to work. Do you have any suggestions for alternative PHP look ups just incase I cant get this working?

I cant have a site with no look up. What ever you suggest would need to have simple instructions that I can follow.

Thanks

I'm unclear as to exactly what you want to know, so have you tried this ?

Hi,

Im looking for the PHP files so I can instal myself and have hosted on my own site a page that users can look up to see if domains are available or to check who owns them.

One of the guys from CWHOIS is looking at my site now. They are really helpfull. Its a great product but I do feel slightly out of my depth. I also feel bad having to rely on other people to fix things when it should be me.

Cheers

Mrwhois is a gpl (free) product that you can use on your site.

Be sure to check the script there was a hidden affilate link in the one I downloaded.

try this...

PHP Code:

class whois
{
    const timeout = 30;
    const whoishost = 'whois.internic.net';
    
    public static function lookup($domain){

       $result = "";
       $errno = 0;
       $errstr='';
    
       $fd = fsockopen(whois::whoishost,43, $errno, $errstr, whois::timeout);

       if ($fd){
             fputs($fd, $domain."\015\012");
           while (!feof($fd))    {
            $result .= fgets($fd,128) . "<br />";
           }
           fclose($fd);
        }
         return $result;
     }
}

$domain = 'google.com';

$result = whois::lookup('$domain);  

if(strstr($result, "No match")){
       echo $domain . "seems to be available";
}else{
    echo $domain . "is in use";
    echo "<hr>";
    echo $result;
}
