Co.za Whois Script Php

[frikkie6000]

Hi Guys

I am running a php query for a domain availability and then this is linked to a cart

$ws[]=".za.org,whois.za.net,No such domain";
$ws[]=".org.za,whois.za.net,No such domain";
$ws[]=".co.za,whois.co.za,No Matches";

The za.org and org.za works 100% but I am unable to get a reply from the co.za whois server

Does this service still run though I probaly used it about 3/4 years ago

Anyone perhaps have another idea for me for this ?

Hi Byron,

I have used this before and it works:

$ws[]=".co.za,whois.coza.net.za,Available";
