Whois Page Question

[egemen]

Hello friends,

For example, I have a question;

when I want to enter domainname.com/whois.php

I get the error I shared in the Appendix.

However, if the domain name is full on the domain registration page, there is still no page where I can show my customers who it belongs to. Or I can not see. 🙂

Is there anyone who can help?

Thanks

the reason that page returns an error is because you need to pass a domain to it for it to lookup, e.g whois.php?domain=google.com

personally, i've never been a big fan of doing this because there are certain TLDs (.nl springs to minds) that have whois lookup limits on them, and once you go past those limits, the user will start to get incorrect results in search results (assuming that you're not using a lookup provider)... though such limits are unlikey to inpact on .com, .net etc whois lookups.

I don't know if it still works with the latest release (there is an issue of their Github that says it doesn't), but there is a free whois lookup addon in Marketplace - Whois For Clients

there is also a commercial alternative too - Simple Whois - but again, I don;'t know if it still works.

thank you very much

One last question,

<form method = "post" action = "whois.php? $ placeholder" id = "frmDomainChecker">
<input type "text" class = "searchTerm" placeholder = "What are you looking for?">
</ Form>

whois.php text written in placeholder? How can I add it?

To be honest, I have not made it possible for an incredibly complicated and wonderful software such as whmcs to open up our minds to make such a simple whois page.

We do everything but we have to sit and code to show our customer whois page .... Please solve this !!!

<form method="post" action="whois.php" target="_blank">
	<input type="text" name="domain" class="searchTerm" placeholder="What are you looking for?">
</form>

resulting whois window will open in a new tab/window.
