Need script example for calculating domain age

Hi,
Does anyone have a simple script to check age of domain? I have checked whois script but the problem is gathering too much data where all I need for my program is the age of domain.

Any inputs / guidance appreciated!

 

if (preg_match('/Creation Date: ([0-9]+\-[a-z]+\-[0-9]+)/i', $whois_output, $match)) {
   $creation_date = strtotime(trim($match[1]));
   $difference = time() - $creation_date;
   echo 'Domain is ' . floor($difference/(60*60*24)) . ' days old';
} else {
  echo 'no match found';
}

PHP:

 

the only way is by the whois script, but premmium provided a way to filter just the creation date.

 

Thanks premiumscripts I would test this code and appreciate your quick response.
Any way just to get date though - without processing the whole of whois response ?

 

No, not that I know of. You can check the enom api or other domain sellers, but they generally just allow you to query for the expiration date. Anyway, querying the whois seems like a fine solution, don't know why you'd want it any different.

 

please give me api provide to get domain age.

Thank
