This is a standalone php class to find whois information of domain or IP.
Class features
- Automatically lookup for secondary whois server.
- In-built IP and domain validator.
- Automatically remove http:// and www. from start of domain
- No dependencies
How it works?
Each TLD (Top Level Domain) has different whois server (eg: .com and .net whois server is whois.verisign-grs.com) which listen at port no. 43. In this class we have list of whois servers according to their TLD. First extract TLD from domain and find its whois server. Then connect to whois server on port 43 using fsockopen() and write the domain name using fputs(). And finally read the response using fgets().

Hi, I’m trying to validate an Email domain, I have tried many ways, but nothing works and this script say the next message ( using gmail.com domain or any valid domain):
“Socket Error 0 – php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution”
THX
This is not a script error. Check your internet connection and DNS resolver IPs
I dont have iternet connection problems
Can u help me please.
Try a domain like godaddy.com or microsoft.com, you don’t get the standard returned whois. Do you know what is up with that?
spain TLD is not correct and not work fine.
Good script!
Hi dear,
first thanks for your script…
when i try to work with script i done but result is a long string without any new line and all text concatenated, in script where can i add new line for it ???
Thanks.
keep getting error code:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Whois error
That is because the “Whois” class was already declared in the whois.php file, so the whoisClass.php throws the error. However, when I change the class name, the code breaks. Any ideas?
i download whoisclass.php to my root.and how can i call this to index.php page.how to use section is not working???
Can you please give me the code to make a form like your demo ? Im newbie ^^ Thanks

Can you please give me the code to make a form like your demo ? Im new in this field Thanks
Hello i had the similar problem like yours as i also not a programmer after searching a lot I found the code which is similar to the above and it works fine below is the link
I’ve tried adding this as a code to WordPress using a ‘Global Content Blocks’
And when run it states “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘ ‘ (T_STRING), expecting ‘)’ in /home/content/95/7248795/html/whoisClass.php on line 4”
Any clues?
As above, your demo page looks different in code than this info above.
Hello, I like to check out the domain name. VN?
Bug report -> at line #176, backslashes are missing before each control character : “rn” should be “\r\n”.
Thank you anyway for this very useful class 🙂
Just fixed it. Thanks for bug reporting.
Hi,
am having:
Invalid widget whoisClass
please look at the below link for those who are looking for script for whois
https://github.com/januridp/whois
Hi,
Awesome simple script that does the work.
Anyway we can have the phpwhois class server-list work with your script?
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phpWhois/phpWhois/master/src/whois.servers.php
At the moment use the function “whoislookup”, I throw the following error:
Socket Error 101 – Network is unreachable
Do I need to do any additional configuration?
Are any domain certificates required?
