Description
On hardened PHP installations system() is disabled. Thus if you try to us whois you'll get an error message:
Warning: system() has been disabled for security reasons in /....../wi-unstable/whois.php on line 53
For that reason I have added support for http://www.phpwhois.com/ classes. It queries RIPE directly via PHP. Please read inc/config.php for information about how to download and install phpwhois classes.
