Need help adding domain availability checker to site

[spindrift]

Hi there!

Thank you for checking out my post...

On my website I want a domain availability checker - just some sort of script that can check a domain and see whether it is valid and return the result "taken" or "available". I checked out the script at http://www.asptutorial.info/sscript/Accessremotepages_domain.asp and as I'm using HTML, put an iFrame to a file called domain_checker.asp but it didn't work - the code just appeared in the iFrame.

I know hardly anything about ASP to be honest but is there a way that I can add an availability checker to my site?

Many thanks and I hope to hear from you.

Take care,

Mark

does your host support asp?

hello hkl! (again!)

my host does support ASP - I just tested it locally on my PC.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks,

Mark

not sure man. all i remember from asp class is that it was a pain in the butt compared to php. :(

sorry dude. try posting it in the server side forum.

i would look into using perl. there's a perl whois package which is easy to use. if you're familiar with php, you should be alright with perl. most hosts that support php also support perl.
