It must be magic. There's no way the code that has been posted could work.
Let's analyze this a bit -
The fact that spentagesearching assures us that the code at
http://www.webpal.ie/testwhois.php is identical was why I questioned the
serve set up.
I'm afraid he/she is simply mistaken. In my 5:23 post I suggested the
correct code that should be used. I'm guessing that spentagessearching
actually used that code on their site, which is why the page is now working.
To show you that this MUST be the case, here is the code as you posted it
(AND as shown on the ringsworld link) -
http://www.murraytestsite.com/whois.php
Note that the server throws an undefined variable error referring to the
$dom variable, exactly as I said would be the case. This means that the
sample code on the ringsworld link is definitely incorrect. Note also that
the page just does not work.
Here is the page after I have made the suggested modifications (with a few
more modifications) -
http://www.murraytestsite.com/whois2.php
Note that this one does work after these modifications, although it, too,
throws an error on completion. The ringsworld code is really very poor
stuff. Here is the modified code -
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
<html>
<head>
<title>phpGlobalWhois</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
<form name="form1" method="post" action="whois2.php">
Domain: <input type="text" name="dom" id="dom">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<?
//$dom = '';
if (isset($_POST['Submit']) && $_POST['Submit'] == 'Submit') {
$dom = $_POST['dom'];
if ($dom){
// Note that I am including the whois markup directly in the page for
clarity
function get_whois_info($domain){
$whoisservers=array(
...snipped out the voluminous array of whois servers...
);
$whocnt = count($whoisservers);
for ($x=0;$x<$whocnt;$x++){
$artld = $whoisservers[$x][0];
$tldlen = intval(0 - strlen($artld));
if (substr($domain, $tldlen) == $artld) {
$out[0] = $whoisservers[$x][1];
$out[1] = $whoisservers[$x][2];
return $out;
}
}
return $out;
}
function lookup($dom){
$whoinf = get_whois_info($dom);
$lusrv = $whoinf[0];
$notfndtxt = $whoinf[1];
if (!$lusrv) return "";
$fp = fsockopen($lusrv, 43);
fputs($fp, "$dom\r\n");
$string="";
while(!feof($fp)){
$string.= fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
$reg = "/Whois Server: (.*?)\n/i";
preg_match_all($reg, $string, $matches);
$secondtry = $matches[1][0];
if ($secondtry){
$fp = fsockopen($secondtry, 43);
fputs($fp, "$dom\r\n");
$string="";
while(!feof($fp)){
$string.=fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
}
if (stristr($string, $notfndtxt)) $data[0] = "1";
$data[1] = $string;
return $data;
}
$whoisresult = lookup($dom);
$isavail = $whoisresult[0]; // Contains "1" is it's available, blank
if it's registered
$whotext = $whoisresult[1]; // Contains the full response from the
server.
//The PRE tags are there to display the results in web browsers without
replacing \n with <br>..its just cleaner and quicker that way.
if ($isavail=="1"){
print "<b>This domain is available!</b>";
}
else
{
print "<b>This domain has been registered.</b>";
}
print "<pre>".$whotext."</pre>";
}
}
?>
</body>

It's not possible for that code to 'work'. There is nothing that is ...
What can I say. It does!
The code I gave in the previous post is a straight cut n paste from the
Dreamweaver Code view.
You can follow the link to http://www.westrayonline.co.uk/testwhois.php
and try it your self.
It works.
The fact that spentagesearching assures us that the code at
http://www.webpal.ie/testwhois.php is identical was why I questioned the
serve set up.
