Simple Array not working ! Very Strange

[ankur0101]

Hi,

I am performing some whois query using phpwois.

http://www.phpwhois.org/

 

 

So after doing its object output i.e.

$whois = new Whois();
$result = $whois->Lookup($domain);
$winfo = '';
$utils = new utils;
$winfo = $utils->showHTML($result);

 

 

, I am getting following data for for phpfreaks.com>

regrinfo->Array
domain->Array
  name->phpfreaks.com
  nserver->Array
   ns1.serverpowered.net->204.13.168.4
   ns2.serverpowered.net->216.12.222.4

regyinfo->Array
registrar->ENOM, INC.
referrer->http://www.enom.com
servers->Array
  0->Array
   server->com.whois-servers.net
   args->domain =phpfreaks.com
   port->43
  1->Array
   server->whois.enom.com
   args->phpfreaks.com
   port->43
type->domain

 

 

Now I want to show Domain registrar (Enom, INC.)

 

So I did following

 

echo $winfo['regyinfo'];

 

Now above code shows following >>

registrar->ENOM, INC.
referrer->http://www.enom.com
servers->Array
0->Array
  server->com.whois-servers.net
  args->domain =phpfreaks.com
  port->43
1->Array
  server->whois.enom.com
  args->phpfreaks.com
  port->43
type->domain

 

To obtain I mean to show ENOM, INC, I used following >

 

echo $winfo['regyinfo']['registrar'];

But it gave error, so I used following >>

$temp = $winfo['regyinfo'];
echo $temp['registrar'];

 

But it give output as follows :

 

<

 

 

I dont know what wrong I am doing ?

If it is showing regyinfo, then it should also show registrar.

 

Thanks

I've never known an echo to display an array like that.  Try using a var_dump($winfo) on your array instead of an echo and see if it outputs the array correctly. Post the output here for us all to see.

Okay, I will try and update this thread.

It would be a great deal easier to read if you use print_r() to print it and then post back and I will take a look.

 

echo '<pre>' . print_r($winfo['regyinfo']) . '</pre>';

var_dump($temp['registrar']) gave me following output :

 

string(1)"<"

 

 

Now using print_r($temp['registrar']) gives following output :

 

<

The only whois utils class I can find has utils::showHTML() returning a string.  I'm betting that the utils class you have does the same, or outputs an object.  If you could post the method utils::showHTML(), it would clear up a lot of questions.

The showHTML method is for displaying the information. It is not an array of data that you access element of. When you do access a non-existent index of a string, it returns the first character of that string.

 

To access elements of the result, AFAIK (I haven't figured out how to actually use that class based on its excellent documentation - edit: found something useful in the readme file) you would just refer to elements within $result.

 

Edit: What does the following show -

 

echo '<pre>',print_r($result, true),'</pre>';

Upon getting this to work, the answer to your first post in the thread is -

 

echo $result['regyinfo']['registrar'];

Yeah, I was about to write this that using this, it works.
