check domain name availability

@JonaSep 15.2004 — #[font=trebuchet ms]Look into [url=http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.checkdnsrr.php]checkdnsrr()[/url] and [url=http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.dns-get-record.php]dns_get_record()[/url].[/font]

@Stephen_PhilbinSep 15.2004 — #Surely just typing in the domain name to see if it brings up a site or not would be the most simple and obvious method?

Works fine for me.?

@JupacSep 15.2004 — #rofl no???

the owner of domain might have not set up dns yet =/ hahaha

WHOIS is the best

@pyroSep 15.2004 — #I use something like this. Modify to suit your needs:

&lt;?PHP
 $domain = 'ryanbrill.com'; # domain.com (no http://, no trailing slash, though the script will strip it off anyway...)
 $domain = preg_replace("/http://www./", "", $domain);
 $domain = preg_replace("/http:///", "", $domain);
 $domain = preg_replace("//$/", "", $domain);
 $avail = "yes";
 if (preg_match("/.org/",$domain)) {
 $fp = @fsockopen("whois.publicinterestregistry.net", 43);
 }
 else {
 $fp = @fsockopen("whois.internic.net", 43);
 }
 if ($fp) {
 $output = "";
 fputs($fp, "$domainn");
 while (!feof($fp)) {
 $output .= fgets($fp,128);
 }
 fclose ($fp);
 if (preg_match("/No Match|unable to|NOT FOUND/i",$output)) {
 $avail = "no";
 }
 if ($avail == "yes") {
 echo '
 &lt;div id="whois"&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;This name is: &lt;span class="whois_reg"&gt;registered&lt;/span&gt;.
 For more information, view the whois information below. Please click &lt;a href="/hosting/whois/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to search again.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;div class="hr"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;div class="whois_info"&gt;'.nl2br($output).'&lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;/div&gt;
 ';
 }
 else {
 echo '
 &lt;div id="whois"&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;This name is: &lt;span class="whois_reg"&gt;available&lt;/span&gt;. Please &lt;a href="/contact/"&gt;contact us&lt;/a&gt; to register it.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;div class="hr"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;div class="whois_info"&gt;'.nl2br($output).'&lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;/div&gt;
 ';
 }
 }
 else {
 echo "&lt;p&gt;The whois query failed to execute. Please try again later.&lt;/p&gt;";
