Query String Help PHP

[nkosinathi]

Hi All

 

I need to write a PHP file/app to use the query string and from the results(query string results) obtained, write a conditional statement. The statement will be either Domain available or Domain Not Available depending on the (query string results and further processing might be needed. 

 

I have the following query string "Domain=MyDomainName&Enter=Enter" the whole URL and Query String  is

 

http://www.coza.net.za/cgi-bin/whois.sh?Domain=MyDomainName&Enter=Enter.

 

I want to be able to echo whether the domain is a Match (Meaning not available for registration on .CO.ZA namespace) or it has NO Match ( I can Register on CO.ZA)

 

I will have the text box in the Form where the the user will input the desired name and action my PHP script E.G.

 

<form action="domainchecker.php" method="post" name="domain">

        Domain name:

        <table>

          <tr><td><input name="domainname" type="text" /></td></tr>

          <tr><td><input type="submit" name="submitBtn" value="Check domain"/></td>

        </tr>

        </table> 

      </form>

 

 

MY Problem is what to put in domainchecker.php to implement this. I have tried socket connection to the whois server but co.za does not have this, I have to use Query strings and I am stuck and pulling my hair off.

 

Thanks in advance
