Purpose
When you need to work with Whois lookups in PHP this library provides a very basic client!
Rather than focus on the user-friendly output this library focuses on the raw Whois protocol. The library is limited in function since its intended to be a low-level client that handles only request and raw output. Basically the package supports the look-up of a TLDs primary Whois server and then will do a query of the domain provided.
If you're looking for a higher level client, please use: Whodis.
Requirements
- PHP >= 8.1
Past PHP version support
Features
- Pure PHP based Whois client.
- Simple API for getting raw Whois results in PHP.
- Unicode IDN and punycode support.
