php coding help

[buttontop]

hi i am making a little script for myself to find domain renewal date, and wondered if anyone had and small cut and paste from a script they could give me that does just this.

Thanks

Deconstruction wrote a script that does bulk whois checks. Be aware you are limited to 1000 per day.

This Whois2 is also there, but I think its perl or something but converting it to php should be easy.

Purg also wrote one http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/domain-tools/35115-free-php-whois-script-demo-download.html

PHP Code for grabbing IPS TAG...easy switch to get Date

This is a part of a script that i wrote where you can dump in a list of domains or keywords (if it's keywords it'll remove spaces and switch it to .co.uk and .com) it'll then go fishing to see if it's been registered or not. This part of the script opens up a the uk nic page and grabs the IPS tag and updates the database.

<?php require_once('Connections/db_conn.php'); ?>
<?php
mysql_select_db($database_domains_conn, $domains_conn);
$query_getdomains = "SELECT * FROM domains WHERE  domains_id = ".$_GET['did']."";
$getdomains = mysql_query($query_getdomains, $domains_conn) or die(mysql_error());
$row_getdomains = mysql_fetch_assoc($getdomains);
$totalRows_getdomains = mysql_num_rows($getdomains);
?>
<?

do {
$domainTypeUK = preg_match("(.co.uk)", $row_getdomains['domains_domain']);
$domainsTypeOther = preg_match("(.com)", $row_getdomains['domains_domain']);
if ($domainTypeUK == 1) 

{
$file = file_get_contents("http://webwhois.nic.uk/cgi-bin/whois.cgi?query=".substr($row_getdomains['domains_domain'],11)."&WHOIS+Submit.x=0&WHOIS+Submit.y=0");
$desc = preg_match("[Tag = (.*)]", $file, $fulldesc);
$ipstag = $fulldesc[1];
$ipstag = str_replace(']', '', $ipstag);
$ipstag = str_replace('[', '', $ipstag);

//echo $fulldesc[1];

$UpdateSQL = "UPDATE domains SET domains_a = '$ipstag' WHERE domains_id = ".$row_getdomains['domains_id']."";

mysql_select_db($database_domains_conn, $domains_conn);
$Result1 = mysql_query($UpdateSQL, $domains_conn) or die(mysql_error());	

if($fulldesc[1] == "") {

echo $row_getdomains['domains_domain']." is avaialble!";

}else{

echo "Domain: ".$row_getdomains['domains_domain']." /n IPS Tag was: ".$row_getdomains['domains_a']." /n IPS Tag is now: ".$ipstag;		
}

}

else if ($domainsTypeOther == 1)

{

$file = file_get_contents("http://reports.internic.net/cgi/whois?whois_nic=".substr($row_getdomains['domains_domain'],11)."&type=domain");
$desc = preg_match("(Registrar:(.*\s))", $file, $fulldesc);

//echo $fulldesc[1];

$UpdateSQL = "UPDATE domains SET domains_a = '".$fulldesc[1]."' WHERE domains_id = ".$row_getdomains['domains_id']."";

mysql_select_db($database_domains_conn, $domains_conn);
$Result1 = mysql_query($UpdateSQL, $domains_conn) or die(mysql_error());	

if($fulldesc[1] == "") {

echo $row_getdomains['domains_domain']." is avaialble!";

}else{

echo "Domain: ".$row_getdomains['domains_domain']." Registrar was: ".$row_getdomains['domains_a']."  Registrar is now: ".$ipstag;		
}
			
}

} while ($row_getdomains = mysql_fetch_assoc($getdomains));		

// echo $domainsTypeOther;

?>
<?php
mysql_free_result($getdomains);
?>

You'd need to change the $desc = preg_match("[Tag = (.*)]", $file, $fulldesc); to look for the date.

Awesome tool for regular expressions lives at http://gskinner.com/RegExr/

To add to what Skinner said, remember there are daily limits and you will get blacklisted if you exceed them.

The maximum query rate is 5 queries per second with a maximum of 1,000 queries per rolling 24 hours

Don't try blagging your IP either, albeit nom are kinda slow at detecting it, they do spot the patterns

 

[buttontop]

is there a place that i can find out where i can find out how many queries i have left for any given time?

 

[lwoody]

counter

Im not sure if there is an official area within Nominet to monitor this but you could apply a counter to any of your PHP script to keep an eye on how many times you query it.

No, for querying the Whois it is up to you to keep track so that you don't go over the limits.

If you go over the limit you get an display that says you have used your quota. If it happens alot you get blocked. I have been blocked before now, they blacklisted my whole ISP for about 3 months, so I had to use a proxy all the time.
