whois2 php script

purg · 04-04-2008, 09:41:50 PM

Im hoping someone can help

Ive written a script that should work but doesnt. Taking a whois lookup on port 43 and changed to 1043 and included host & IP. Using port 43 works fine so cant see what ive missed.

Code:

<?php
$fp = fsockopen('whois.nic.uk', 1043, $errno, $errstr);
if (!$fp) {
   echo "ERROR: $errno - $errstr<br />\n";
} else {
   fwrite($fp, "myhome.hostname myhome.ip.address yahoo.co.uk\r\n");
   while (!feof($fp)) {
      echo str_replace("\n", '<br />', fread($fp, 100));
   }
   fclose($fp);
}
?>

Ive got the email which accept I now have access to WHOIS2 from the IP address 65.99.[remove].233.85. The domain is on a VPS so have given the domain its own IP address but the script still times out.

Code:

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to whois.nic.uk:1043 in /home/daily/public_html/who.php on line 3
ERROR: 110 - Connection timed out

Please help.

Is the IP you're trying to connect to whois2 from allowed?

Looks ok, I just use something like this with np

PHP Code:

  $whois = 'whois.nic.uk';

$hostname = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

$ip = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];

$domain = 'internet.co.uk';

 
$fs = fsockopen("$whois", 1043, $errno, $errstr, 60);

if (!$fs) {

   fclose($fs);

} else {

 
        fputs($fs, "$hostname $ip $domain\r\n");

        $contents = stream_get_contents($fs);

        fclose($fs);

Maybe make sure your connecting from the domains IP not the servers main IP. Most likely connections would come from the servers IP unless you use bind to bind a specific IP to your script. You should be able to see what outgoing connections are running using netstat.

tifosi... yes ive been accepted and the IP being shown from the domain/script is the IP whois2 has granted access. I put this towards the bottom of my first post.

aquanuke...
Thanks i'll give that a try. From shell im getting the correct address also phpinfo shows the correct IP
SERVER_ADDR 65.99.233.85
SERVER_NAME dailydomain.co.uk

The message from both our scripts seems to suggest im not even getting to nic.uk? let alone not being granted access or not.

Can you telnet to whois2 from the server? If so it will either let you in or close the connection if its an ip registration problem. Either way it will prove whether your script/server is at fault or not.

Probs easier just to bind the IP through the script, try this through a web browser.

PHP Code:

  
<?

$sourceip = 'xx.xxx.xx.xx'; // ip you want to bind to

$whois = 'whois.nic.uk';

$hostname = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

$ip = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];

$domain = 'internet.co.uk';

 
$sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);

socket_bind($sock, $sourceip);

socket_connect($sock, "$whois", 1043);

 
socket_write ($sock, "$hostname $ip $domain\r\n");

$line = socket_read($sock, 1024);

 
echo $line;

?>

Thanks guys but still nothing.... this is getting annoying so will try phoning Nominet Monday for ideas. Im starting to think they sent the email telling me I have access without really granting access to the IP.

Ive posted a site im working on (dailydomain.co.uk), but until this is working the public wont be able to update or lookup whois info which is a shame.
