well, i guess there is NO OTHER WAY to check the availability of a domain
other than using whois server
?php
$domain = google.com\n;
$server = rs.internic.net;
$port = 43;
$whois = fsockopen ($server,$port);
$res = fputs ($whois, $domain);
while (!feof ($whois)) {
$data .= fgets($whois,2024);
}
echo $data;
?
I use the same concept as this minimalistic sample with a full list of whois
servers here http://www.dynamix-tn.com/?go=whois
just parse the domain and use the suitable server and most of the time it
return a fresh information, just use the suitable server.

No... U got me wrong..
Actually I'm looking for PHP scripts which can
tell about the availability of domains.
Using a WhoIs script serves the purpose, but not always.
So I want suggestions from anybody how I can Find out
the availability of a domain ( sld + tld ) for fresh registration.

this is what the whois server return exactly for Google (using
whois.internic.net):
Whois Server Version 1.3
Domain names in the .com, .net, and .org domains can now be registered
with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net
for detailed information.
GOOGLE.COM.IS.THE.GREATEST.SEARCH.ENGINE.EVER.JIMPHILLIPS.ORG
GOOGLE.COM
To single out one record, look it up with xxx, where xxx is one of the
of the records displayed above. If the records are the same, look them
up
with =xxx to receive a full display for each record.
Last update of whois database: Sun, 17 Nov 2002 05:25:23 EST
The Registry database contains ONLY .COM, .NET, .ORG, .EDU domains and
Registrars.
it isn't the problem of the whois script only :))

Hi guys,
I have just downloaded whois2.php
from http://www.easydns.com/~markjr/whois2/
It's working great except for certain domains,
for ex : google.com is being shown as available.
I am in need of a good PHP script which gives me
accurate results about availability of domains.
