Whois Check

[Nick van Beers]

Best,

Looking for a script so people can type in a domain and so the whois of the domain then. It is for a project so people can check whois of domains.

Do you know where I can download it free and whether it's working?

Thank you!

I'm not going to ask why you're trying to "re-invent the wheel", because in order to expand my knowledge and experience in PHP, I do so on nearly a daily basis. What I am going to suggest, however, is that scripts of this type can potentially be abused very easily. If at all possible, try to parse the output as an image, so that robot scripts can't easily extract the data to cause trouble for you down the road. I've run into this problem early on in my coding career, and know from experience that that way lay madness.

That said, best of luck, and if you check out http://www.hotscripts.com, you'll find a few candidates for what you seek.

If you still need on, I wrote a simple one few weeks ago. It is instant domain checker (uses AJAX so you don't have to submit the form).

Pm me if you want to see the source.
