Vendor mallardduck Package whois-client Short Description A very basic Whois client for PHP. The library is limited in function since it's intended to be a low-level client that handles only request and raw output. License
GPL-3.0-or-later Homepage https://github.com/mallardduck/whois-client
After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.
Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories.
In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages.
Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository.
You can look here for more information.
Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Purpose
When you need to work with Whois lookups in PHP this library provides a very basic client!
Rather than focus on the user-friendly output this library focuses on the raw Whois protocol. The library is limited in
function since its intended to be a low-level client that handles only request and raw output. Basically the package
supports the look-up of a TLDs primary Whois server and then will do a query of the domain provided.
If you're looking for a higher level client, please use: Whodis.
