I get the error message when calling from PHP:
$content= exec("whois sanei-office.com");
I get the message:
No whois server is known for this kind of object
But when calling from terminal (same linux server), the request works.

Why did you tag the question `pywhois`? Are you using python or php? – Simone Carletti Feb 25 '15 at 08:20

Be it PHP or Python, do not escape to the shell to do whois queries, you have libraries in both languages to perform whois queries. – Patrick Mevzek Jan 02 '18 at 20:04
