Whois domain is a PHP class which can check the whois information for domain names. If the result for a query is negative, then a standard message is given. Special features include string validation for the name part, a dynamic selection menu for the defined TLDs, domain checking or full domain querying, and multiple domain check.

Changes: A small problem has been fixed where if the user requested data about the .de domain (denic), the exec function would not work for this kind of TLD. This release adds the method get_whois_data() and an if clause to always use a socket connection for this kind of TLD.


Changes: The simple domain check and the method to obtain whois data have been changed, because there are several problems with timeouts by calling the whois servers. There are two ways to get the whois data: the old method with fsockopen, and (new) via the Linux command line with the command "whois -h". The second way is much faster and uses features like redirection. The class has been modified to handle .nl queries while using the "is" parameter.


Changes: A boolean was added to the check_only() method to use this information for domain register pages. This could be used to generate a redirect to another page (eg. for selling the free name).
