Parse the WHOIS output by using certain templates.
Automatically follows the WHOIS registry referral chains until it finds the correct WHOIS for the most complete WHOIS data. Exceptionally robust WHOIS parser that parses a variety of free form WHOIS data into well-structured data that your application may read. Also returns an indication of whether a domain is available.

Installing from source: git clone git://github.com/novutec/WhoisParser.git or download the latest release
See Novutec DomainParser (http://github.com/novutec/DomainParser) or download the latest release and install it as well.
Move the source code to your preferred project folder.
- include Parser.php
require_once 'DomainParser/Parser.php';
require_once 'WhoisParser/Parser.php';
- create Parser() object
$Parser = new Novutec\WhoisParser\Parser();
- call lookup() method
$result = $Parser->lookup($domain);
- access WHOIS record, the object oriented way.
echo $Result->created; // get create date of domain name
print_r($Result->rawdata); // get raw output as array
- you can choose 5 different return types. the types are array, object, json, serialize and xml. by default it is object. if you want to change that call the format method before calling the parse method or provide to the constructer. if you are not using object and an error occurs, then exceptions will not be trapped within the response and thrown directy.
$Parser->setFormat('json');
$Parser = new Novutec\WhoisParser\Parser('json');
- if you have special whois server or login credentials for member whois you may use the method setSepcialWhois(). Please note that if you have a special whois and the output looks different you need your own template.
$Parser->setSepcialWhois('it' => array('server' => 'whois.nic.it', 'port' => 43,
'format' => '-u username -w passsword %domain%', 'template' => 'it-your-template'));
Caching
- [Adapter] HTTP - it is just a prototype
- [Template] .NL - need caching for testing, because after 10 requests you get blocked
- [Template] .IT - no algorithm for public whois
- [Template] gTLD cps-datensysteme - need caching for testing, because after 5 requests you get blocked
- [Template] .EDU - no algorithm
- [Template] .CZ - found a strange behavior by matching the contact handles with google.cz
- [Template] .BJ - recrusive lookup for handles
