PHP bulk .com availabilty?

How can I use PHP to bulck check available domain names?

I want to go through a list of 2,000 words and add things like "fans" to the end of them to see if they are available.

example:

word1fans.com
word2fans.com
etc...all the way to word2000fans.com

PHP Code:

  for($i = 0; $i <= '2000'; $i++)

{

  echo 'word'.$i.'fans.com<br>';

}

Would get you word1fans.com etc.. You could substitute the echo'ing with some php function/script that returns "Available" or "Registered". Plenty of php whois scripts out there..

EDIT:

You could use something like this

PHP Code:

  <?php

 
$whois_servers = array('com' => 'whois.verisign-grs.net',

                       'net' => 'whois.verisign-grs.net',

                       'org' => 'whois.publicinterestregistry.net',

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/168573-php-bulk-com-availabilty.html
                       'info' => 'whois.afilias.info',

                       'biz' => 'whois.neulevel.biz'

                      );

 
function whois($query)

{

  global $whois_servers;

  

  $available = "No match";

  $available2 = "Not found";

  

  $query = str_replace("http://", "", $query);

  

  if(substr($query, 0, 4) == 'www.')

  {

    $query = substr($query, 4);

  }

  

  $check = explode(".", $query);

  $ext = trim($check[1]);

 
  reset($whois_servers);

  $server = $whois_servers[$ext];

 
  $fp = fsockopen($server, 43);

 
  if(!$fp)

  {

    die('Could Not Connect To Server.');

  }

  else

  {

    $send = fputs($fp, $query."\r\n");

 
    if(!$send)

    {

      die('Unable to send request.');

    }

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=168573
    else

    {

      while(!feof($fp))

      {

        $result .= fgets($fp, 10240);

      }

 
      if(eregi($available, $result) || eregi($available2,$result))

      {

        return $query.' is available.';

      }

      else

      {

        return $query.' is registered.';

      }

      fclose($fp);

    }

  }

}

?>

PHP Code:

  for($i = 0; $i <= '2000'; $i++)

{

  echo whois('word'.$i.'fans.com')."<br>\n";

}

Output (only went with 10)

Code:

word0fans.com is available.
word1fans.com is available.
word2fans.com is available.
word3fans.com is available.
word4fans.com is available.
word5fans.com is available.
word6fans.com is available.
word7fans.com is available.
word8fans.com is available.
word9fans.com is available.
word10fans.com is available.
