Does the "$whois->deep_whois=false;" setting work?

kadence0 — Wed, 22 Dec 2021 09:44:55 -0000

The Readme says:

If you just want to know if a domain is registered or not but do not
care about getting the real owner information you can set:

$whois->deep_whois = false;

this will tell phpWhois to just query one whois server. For .com, .net
and .tv domains and ip addresses this will prevent phpWhois to ask more
than one whois server, you will just know if the donmain is registered
or not and which is the registrar but not the owner information.

However, when I do this, it seems to give the same result. Including the same returned PHP object, with 55 array objects. Does this fast lookup feature actually work?

Also, if I use this script at a high volume - say, in the tens of thousands per day - will I get into trouble with my host, or get blocked by the Whois servers?

Does anyone know how to fix a .tv domain so it does a "deep whois" ?

There is just one bug, that is bugging me, LOL, everything else seems fine.

One example:

regrinfo->Array
domain->Array
name->park16.tv
changed->2016-07-30
created->2008-08-06
status->Array
0->clientDeleteProhibited https://icann.org/epp#clientDeleteProhibited
1->clientTransferProhibited https://icann.org/epp#clientTransferProhibited
2->clientUpdateProhibited https://icann.org/epp#clientUpdateProhibited
nserver->Array
ns.123-reg.co.uk->212.67.202.2
ns2.123-reg.co.uk->92.51.159.40
registered->yes
regyinfo->Array
referrer->http://www.meshdigital.com
registrar->MESH DIGITAL LIMITED
servers->Array
0->Array
server->whois.nic.tv
args->park16.tv
port->43
type->domain

another example:

regrinfo->Array
domain->Array
name->five.tv
changed->2016-06-10
created->2002-07-04
status->Array
0->clientTransferProhibited https://icann.org/epp#clientTransferProhibited
nserver->Array
ns0.clara.net->217.158.169.7
ns1.clara.net->195.8.69.36
ns2.clara.net->195.245.201.35
registered->yes
regyinfo->Array
referrer->http://www.enom.com
registrar->ENOM, INC.
servers->Array
0->Array
server->whois.nic.tv
args->five.tv
port->43
type->domain

Anyone got a clue? I can't help but also notice that they expiry date is also missing,created/updated appear just fine, just in case that gives someone a clue as to how to fix it?

If you can fix it - I'd really appreciate it :o)

Thanks

Afrinic need -B parameter in whois IP queries do deliver emails

Helio Silva — Sat, 11 Jun 2016 16:22:01 -0000

Afrinic whois needs -B parameter to deliver emails for abuse or administrative complaints otherwhise they filter this information. At moment phpwhois is not getting emails from ip queries.

for test see whois 41.189.67.49 -B

com.au lookup in 4.2.2

Eric Bolotin — Tue, 04 Aug 2015 23:48:54 -0000

I tried to look up aussiemail.com.au and the lookup failed.

I modified whois.servers.net and added the line

'com.au' => 'whois.aunic.net',

under // Second level inside the file and now it works.

I don't know if this is the ideal fix but it seems to work.
BTW, phpwhois looks like a great tool.

#136 PHP Notice: Undefined offset ... => No whois data for some ip adresses

My bad, I only did the tweak mentioned in this thread, I didn't realize there were other changes. Be sure to try any new code posted to CVS.

Thank you very much for providing the fix, I'm very happy to have this working again!

all the ip's you mention work ok with cvs code

#136 PHP Notice: Undefined offset ... => No whois data for some ip adresses

Doug — Mon, 15 Dec 2014 17:56:43 -0000

This fix did fix a majority of non-working IPs for me, but there are still some that are failing in the same manner. Here are a few: 73.164.249.9, 70.39.185.164, 72.196.194.99, 68.95.249.169, 198.175.68.36, 192.249.41.3, etc.

I remember in the past that not 100% of queries would yield output, but some of these IPs are associated with large ISPs and I would think should yield phpwhois output.

Brilliant. Thanks Charles.

Note - the line number in my whois.client.php file is 525 (every line is followed by an extra line break).
