WHOIS-search in PHP

[Anon]

I'm using PHP4 , and trying to build a whois-search on the internet for ".com" , ".net", ".org" and f.ex. ".no" (NORWEGIAN domain suffix)

I've tried finding info about this subject, but haven't really hit the "jackpot" yet...

Anyone out there who knows the answer or know of a site where i can retrieve this info??

TaNX!

use internic

$fp = fsockopen("whois.internic.net", 43, &$errnr, &$errstr);
fputs($fp, "$domainname\n");

$text = '';
while (!feof($fp))
  $text .= fgets($fp, 2048);

if ( ereg("No match for", $text ) )
{ 
  $found = 1;
  echo "<a href=http://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois?$domainname>$domainname</a><br>\n";
  flush();
}
fclose($fp);

// where $domainname is the domain your interested in.

there is a wicked class for this with a large array of loads of different whois servers built in

I can't for the life of me remember who coded it, but I found it on weberdev.net
