Basic PHP whois
Whois services are extremely useful to get basic information about a domain name: owner, creation date, registrar, etc. Using PHP and the whois unix command, it is extremely easy to create a basic whois PHP function. Please note that the whois unix command must be installed on your server for this code to work.
01.$domains = array('home.pl', 'w3c.org');
02.
03.function creation_date($domain) {
04.$lines = explode("\n", whois $domain);
05.foreach($lines as $line) {
06.if(strpos(strtolower($line), 'created') !== false) {
07.return $line;
08.}
09.}
10.
11.return false;
12.}
13.
14.foreach($domains as $d) {
15.echo creation_date($d) . "\n";
16.}
