Thanks for the help,

Umm.. I tried this script. It worked only for www.yahoo.com (on both mozilla and firefox). It didn't work for www.microsoft.com , www.daniweb.com or even www.whois.net. 
I think something is wrong with the script.
Edit: It worked for www.msn.com

ah well i took out all of the irelavent information before posting it - for example at the moment if the whois dosnt find anything for a domain it will write a paypal add to basket button so i took all that out and in the process might have killed it a bit
here is an example of where the script is working:

Nope. Still the same result. Maybe you would like to use this script 
http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Script...ois/index.html (Max's Whois). I have tried it and it works like a charm!

Ah thanks for the new script. Im testing it all out but I do have one problem which is that I cant integrate a .co.uk domain suffix into it.
this is an example of the code used to check the .com suffix:
and this is what i wrote (at the end of the suffix list) to try and get .co.uk working
iv tried quite a few different servers and none of them work however i think the problem its the .uk section of it (presumerably the ".") because when I put .uk it works normally but obviously dosnt find a proper result. do you have any idea how to fix it? I think it might be more complicated than just adding my .co.uk section but i cant find any support from any of the websites holding the script or any other forums.
Thanks
(youv been helping me with web designing for AAAAGES now!! its MUCH appreciated
)
Max
this is an example of the code used to check the .com suffix:
$this->serverList[0]['top'] = 'com'; $this->serverList[0]['server'] = 'whois.crsnic.net'; $this->serverList[0]['response'] = 'No match for'; $this->serverList[0]['check'] = true;
and this is what i wrote (at the end of the suffix list) to try and get .co.uk working
$this->serverList[9]['top'] = 'co.uk'; $this->serverList[9]['server'] = 'whois.nic.uk'; $this->serverList[9]['response'] = 'No match for'; $this->serverList[9]['check'] = false;

Argh! You are right. Php doesn't like . in the names of form elements. It replaces . by _.
Hmm.. strange! Lets see if someone else has an idea !

Since "_" is an invalid character for a domain, does that mean that you will never have an underscore in the any of the form entity names?
if so, you could try this
it does work.

Thanks r0bb0b and nav33n however im not quite sure what to do with the code.
presumerably i put it at the beginning of the php script to make sure that it changes all strings with an underscore to have full stops instead however im not sure what $key or $value are meant to be.
I have a domain name field called "domain" and checkboxes for domain suffixes to be checked called "top_". its the domain field where the underscores need to be changed to fullstops
thanks again

You know that there are two parts to an array cell(or what ever you want to call it) right?
array[0] = "red";
echo array[0] and get "red";
0 is the key.
"red" is the value.
so, you can do a foreach loop with just he value like this
or with key and value
Maybe that will help, ya?
You can stick it at the very top of the script and it will replace all "_" with "." in the $_POST names.
array[0] = "red";
echo array[0] and get "red";
0 is the key.
"red" is the value.

Ahhh okay I see so it finds any array's where co_uk is written and converts it to co.uk
- i got a parse error:
possibly my server is using an old version of php or something?
- i got a parse error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FOREACH, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/sites/economizerz.com/public_html/test/maxwhois/maxWhois.class.php on line 8
<?php
class maxWhois{
var $serverList;
var $tr = 0;
foreach($_POST as 9 = 'co_uk')
{
$_POST[str_replace("_", ".", $key)] = $value;
}
print_r($_POST);
echo "<br />" . $_POST['.co.uk'];possibly my server is using an old version of php or something?
