Please replace CheckDomain function with this one :


function checkDomain($domain,$server,$findText){
$con = fsockopen($server, 43);
if (!$con) return false;

fputs($con, $domain."\r\n");
$response = ' :';
while(!feof($con)) {
$response .= fgets($con,128);
}
fclose($con);
$tld = substr($domain, -3, 3);
//echo $tld;
if ($tld == ".au") {
if (strpos($response, $findText)){
return false;
}
else {
return true;
}
} else {
if (strpos($response, $findText)){
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
}


Please use :

$this->serverList[13][’tld’] = ‘com.au’;
$this->serverList[13][’server’] = ‘whois-check.ausregistry.net.au’;
$this->serverList[13][’response’] = ‘Not’;

This will solve the availability issue , but you will not have the whois information because this whois server is not returning it.

Still getting the “TAKEN” response with “No Data Found”.

$this->serverList[5][’tld’] = com.au’;
$this->serverList[5][’server’] = ‘whois-check.ausregistry.net.au’;
$this->serverList[5][’response’] = ‘No Data Found’;

I’ve also tried it on another server in case the IP was being blocked for some reason. All other domains are fine, only having problems with com.au.

The whois returns a correct result for domains that are registered so that part is ok.

I do have success if I query the whois.ausregistry.net.au database with ‘No Data Found’ it works fine but this service is subject to black listing at 20 requests per day therefore the whois-check.ausregistry.net.au is their recommended server.

The whois-check server responds with ‘Available’ or ‘Not Available’. I read in a post related to an old whois script that the response may not being processed properly because “Not Available’ also contains “Available” and may not be being processed correctly by the script?

Thanks for your help so far, any suggestions?

Please use “No Data Found” instead of “Not Available” for com.au. domains.

I’m trying to get this working with .com.au domains without success. All searches are returning taken. Here is the link to the Ausregistry lookup http://www.ausregistry.com.au/availability.php
Details are at the bottom of the page. I have tried “Not Available”, “\nAvailable” and a heap of other response lines without success.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Please modifiy the response text for .de domains from : “not found in database” in “free” in AjaxWhois.php line 165.
