Works with the new registry system. Fetches whois server for the domain then queries that server for the registration data.

<?php

                            
 // always scour user input
 $domain=escapeshellcmd($url);

                            
 // path to whois
 $cmd="/usr/local/php/bin/whois $domain";

                            
 exec($cmd,$data);
 $max=count($data);
 $count=0;

                            if($max):

                                while($count <= $max):

                                    echo "$data[$count]<br>";

                                    // check each line returned for the whois server for the domain        


                                    if(ereg("Whois Server: ", $data[$count])):

                                            $whoserver=ereg_replace("Whois Server: ", "", $data[$count]);

                                    endif;

                                    $count++;

                                endwhile;

                            endif;

                            if(isset($whoserver)):

                                $cmd="/usr/local/php/bin/whois -h$whoserver $domain";

                                unset($data);

                                exec($cmd,$data);

                                $max=count($data);

                                $count=0;

                                if($max):

                                    while($count <= $max):

                                        echo "$data[$count]<br>";

                                        $count++;

                                    endwhile;

                                endif;

                            endif;
 ?>
