[users@httpd] Getting WHOIS info

[Gerry Danen <gd...@gmail.com>]

I want to create a page where I enter an IP address then exec() to run
whois and then display the output. I like to do this in PHP 5.

This is what I try:

$arg = trim($_GET[ip]);  // get IP address

echo	"<pre><br>ARIN:<br>";
$out	= "/home/website/work/" . $arg . ".txt" ;
$cmd	= "whois -h whois.arin.net " .$arg . " >" . $out ;
exec	( $cmd );
include ( $out );
echo	"</pre>";

The output file is created but no content. The directory is chmod'ed to 777...

The command works fine from the command line.

Any ideas?
