Whois2.php README v1.0 1999/12/06
This is the long overdue rewrite of whois.php3. You'll have to excuse the brevity of this README but I plan to expand on it later.
Basically, untar the distribution and put the files somewhere within you php include path. When you want to do a lookup then:
include( "main.whois"); $whois = new Whois("example.com"); $result = $whois->Lookup();
Depending on what kinds of extended handlers are available, $result can be either a solitary array of $result["rawdata"] or all kinds of things depending on what methods are available.
There is an extended class called "utils.whois" which contains a debugging function called showObject(), if you showObject($result) it will output the total layout of the returned object to the web browser.
The latest version of the package and a demo script resides at http://www.easydns.com/~markjr/whois2/
By the time this is releases there should also be an article describing the package on devshed.com at http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/whois/
If you're really stuck and can't figure something out, or you want to contribute an extended class for one of the TLD's, as always, email me.
