If your website is PHP-interpreted, checkdnsrr() or
gethostbyname() should be a way.

If you think about whois- or nic-queries, qou will have
the problem that (afaik) there is no global relolve
page, i.e. you will only be able to query a subset of
TLD's with each query

PHP is a server sided language that has access to several
network commands and protocols. It can be embedded into
HTML or create dynamic HTTP pages on the server.

PHP can query the DNS entry or the IP address that belongs
to a web URL and display the results, or just a success
message on a web page.

Not all PHP installations allow access to all protocols but
I think the two commands I mentioned are basic builtins and
should always be available.

TLD is short for "Top Level Domains", the 2-4 letters behind
the last dot of a domain name.

NIC's are the companies where the names are registered.

A whois query can tell about the current holder of a name.

revolve was a typo, should have been "resolve", a page or
service to get informations about a domain name independant
from the top level domain.
All local TLDs can be queried through the local NIC's,
all global TLDs through InterNIC, but I don't know any place
or service that covers all local and global TLDs, so you would
oly get a result for a subset / part of your queries.

Yea, the guy who created PHP made it so he could figure out who was looking
at his online resume. :-P
I read that on php.net yesterday. ;-) (everyone probably already knew that
though)
