In need of assistance

I am working on a site statistics script (link here), but cant figure out how to get the domains age, or expiration date. How would I get that information?
Also, if you look at the site and think of some important thing it needs, please tell me.

PS: It takes a few minutes to get all the stats, so don't close your browser.
edit: The loading time shouldnt be so much of a problem now, due to some ajax magic I just added (ooh, my first ajax thing )

That information is available on a whois so you could either scrape the information from another site or do a whois lookup yourself and use a regular expression to extract the information.

Well, i've got it all working. If anyone has any feature ideas, now would be the time

seems to be fine for .com but tried a .co.uk (in fact a couple) and the expiry and creation dates are left empty.

Hmm, I can't seem to get it working for anything other than a .com, here are the functions:

     function getCreated(){
          $url = $this->url['host'];
          $url = str_replace("www.", "", $url);
          $url = 'http://www.whois.ws/whois-com/ip-address/' . urlencode($url) . '/';
          $data = $this->getPage($url);
          $data = str_replace(" ", " ", $data);
          preg_match("#(Creation Date|Registered On):([\ ]+)([0-9a-zA-Z\-\ \:]+)(\r|\n)#si", $data, $p);
          $value = ($p[3]) ? $p[3] : '';
          return $value;
     }

     function getExpires(){
          $url = $this->url['host'];
          $url = str_replace("www.", "", $url);
          $url = 'http://www.whois.ws/whois-com/ip-address/' . urlencode($url) . '/';
          $data = $this->getPage($url);
          $data = str_replace(" ", " ", $data);
          preg_match("#(Expiration Date|Renewal date):([\ ]+)([0-9a-zA-Z\-\ \:]+)(\r|\n)#si", $data, $p);
          $value = ($p[3]) ? $p[3] : '';
          return $value;
     }

The regular expression seems fine, are you sure that it is retrieving the page properly? try echoing out $data in a test.

Got it! It turned out that the whois site had a different URL for different TLDs, so I had to change the url to the following:

$ext = strrev($url);
$ext = explode(".", $ext);
$ext = strrev($ext[0]);
$url = 'http://www.whois.ws/whois-' . $ext . '/ip-address/' . urlencode($url) . '/';

Unfortunatly, the javascript seems to have stopped working, even though I haven't changed it...

Here are the contents of ajax.js, i've found the code stops at ajaxObject.send(null);

function ajaxFunction(){
     var xmlHttp;
     try{
          xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
     }
     catch (e){
          try{
               xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
          }
          catch (e){
               try{
                    xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
               }
               catch (e){
                    return false;
               }
          }
     }
     return xmlHttp;
}

function getRequest(method, url){
     var ajaxObject;
     ajaxObject = ajaxFunction();
     
     if(ajaxObject){
          ajaxObject.open("GET", "http://mikor.clearlyhosted.org/Rank/data.php?act=" + method + "&url=" + url, true);
          ajaxObject.send(null);

          ajaxObject.onreadystatechange=function(){
               if(ajaxObject.readyState==4){
                    document.getElementById(method).innerHTML = ajaxObject.responseText;
               }
          }
     }else{
          alert("Sorry, your browser supports neither XMLHttpRequest(), Msxml2.XMLHTTP, nor Microsoft.XMLHTTP.\r\n\r\nAs a result, this page will not work.");
     }
}

edit: Fixed, I had to remove the http://mikor.clearlyhosted.org/Rank/ from the request url, it's just strange it worked before...
