TCP sockets with Zend Framework

Question

Hey everybody,

I want to query a WHOIS server with PHP. This means that I have to TCP connect to Port 43 on the WHOIS server. Is there a way to do this with the ZEND Framework? I only found HTTP socket adapters.

I will do it with the native PHP socket functions if ZF does not provide wrapper classes.

Thank you Lennart

Answer 1

There is none. Your best bet is either plain php sockets, or you could check out phpclasses.org for already made whois classes.

Answer 2

why not using phpwhois for this?

It does not relate to zend framework, but this should be no problem.
