Page 2 - Using PHP classes to navigate distributed whois databases

If there are no characters in the box when submit is pressed I get this:
Results for :Errors: domain is not supported
Warning: Illegal string index in /www/vhtdocs/webhappy/index.phtml on line 113
No Match

How do I change it so that it says "please enter a domain name" instead?

Thanks
Mark

I am trying out this whois on http://www.webhappy.co.uk.

I am looking for information on connecting to ports and retrieving the information for a project similar to this. General socket programming in PHP. Does anyone know where I can locate this information?

Ok, so how would I pull just one or two things out of the $result object?

In my case, I just want return the current nameserver info to a variable in PHP - what's the best way to do this?

Add a function to the utils.whois file, or is there a way to extract what I need from the existing returned object?

I'm a newbie to OOP, so I'm not so familiar with classes . .. =0(

Thanks in advance!

I have written a small domain lookup program in PHP3 using whois2.
When I finished and it worked I decided that other newbies to PHP might like to look at it.

This program has no name... it doesn't really deserve one but it can be intergrated into any PHP enabled site easily.

If you would like a copy of the code then please email me and I will reply to you with a zip file containing it.

In the FAQ there a question & answer about rawdata failing in php4, the faq answers this question but what about regrinfo containing no data????
