whois did not work at Godaddy!

Hi

I tried "whois class" on my localhost, it worked very well, but when I uploaded it to a godaddy hosting account, it always gives me: "The domain name: domain.com is registered" even if it is available, it gives the same message...!  :)

do I have to change something in php.ini ?

thanks 8)

get a better webhost ;) (you can't change the php.ini on a shared host

Hi Olaf,,

I found there at my godaddy hosting account an editable php.ini file...!

any idea?

thanks for your reply.

I guess you need to run the the class in the "win" mode (socket)

if you have done this tell us the error you see

Dear Olaf, unfortunately "win" did not work...

also I tested the following:

I think whois port is closed...

any idea?

thanks for your support :)

if the fsockopen doesn't work and the whois via the command line doesn't work you have no chance on that hosting account

thank you any way...
