php Whois lookup script (free)

[samscripts]

My new, oh-so-imaginatively-titled "Sams Whois" script lets you set up a whois lookup service on your own website in just a couple of minutes.

Main features:

• Supports major tlds (com,net,org,info,biz,us,etc) - and others can be easily added
• Checks authorative server as well as registry server for com and net
• Really easy installation
• Can hilight important items in the whois data for easy viewing of results
• Can remove extraneous text from whois results like whois server terms of use (for supported whois servers)
• Can require users to enter a random code displayed as an image to stop abuse of the service.
• Can cache lookup results to reduce server usage
• Simple configuration of various options.
• Heavily commented example usage file included + documentation online.

Requirements: web-server with php

Docs, features & download link: http://whois.samscripts.com/

Example Site: http://www.tldme.com/

Quickstart Guide: http://whois.samscripts.com/documentation/quickstart-guide.htm

Sams Whois is free to use as long as you provide a visible link back to http://whois.samscripts.com on any site using the script. If you don't want to provide a link, the price is $10 per site you use the script on (see http://whois.samscripts.com/donate.htm).

enjoy :D

is there a template system on it?

 

[samscripts]

No - I thought about it, but decided it wasn't really neccessary - its pretty simple to change the css or edit the html in the file itself.

I might add one in the future though.

Great looking resource. I've downloaded it, and might try it on one of my sites.

:tu: thanks Armstrong. I hope you do try it... I tried to make it as easy to install as possible, so any comments or feedback on whether I succeeded will be greatly appreciated.

cheers,
