#PHP Whois API PHP library requesting (via socket port 43) and parsing real WHOIS service responses.

##Requirements PHP >= 5.4

Modules:

• intl

##Usage

Create default instance for top-level domains .com .net .ru .рф

use iodev\whois\Whois;

$whois = Whois::create();

If you want add special whois server:

use iodev\whois\WhoisServer;
use iodev\whois\parsers\ComInfoParser;

$edu = new WhoisServer();
$edu->isCentralized = false;
$edu->topLevelDomain = ".edu";
$edu->host = "whois.crsnic.net";
$edu->infoParser = new ComInfoParser();

// Or via static factory method
$edu = WhoisServer::createDistributed(".edu", "whois.crsnic.net", new ComInfoParser());

// Attaching
$whois->addServer($edu);

Loading domain info:

$info = $whois->loadInfo("google.com");

echo $info->domainName . " expiring at: " . date("d.m.Y H:i:s", $info->expirationDate);

var_dump($info);

It will return null if domain info not loaded or domain not found or not supported by current whois servers.

Or you can get original whois text response:

$info = $whois->loadInfo("google.com");
$response = $info->response;

echo "WHOIS response for '{$response->requestedDomain}':\n{$response->content}";

Now $info is \iodev\whois\WhoisInfo object with important data fields:

• domainName — Real domain name (punycode).
• domainNameUnicode — Domain name in unicode (decoded punycode).
• nameServers — List of name servers.
• creationDate — Unixtime creation date.
• expirationDate — Unixtime expiration date.
• states — Status list in upper-case.
• owner — Owner (company) name.
• registrar — Registrar name.
• response — \iodev\whois\WhoisResponse object containing original whois response text and parsed grouped key-value pairs.
