/**
 
 * A class to check the presence of a domain name, having any extension.
 
 * 
 
 * Example of use (1):
 
 * The following code will check for the domain name example.com and, if available,
 
 * will return the link to the registration through godaddy.com
 
 * You can change the server used to check domains availability and the site
 
 * from where buy the domain name by specifing them in the method call. 
 
 * <code>
 
 * include_once('dchk.php');
 
 *
 
 * $free = new DCHK();
 
 * if($free->check_domain("example.com"))
 
 *     // domain available
 
 * else
 
 *     // Domain already registered!
 
 * </code>
 
 *
 
 * Example of use (2):
 
 * Form to check domain names
 
 * <code>
 
 * <?php
 
 * if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
 
 *     $domain = $_POST['domain'];
 
 *     $ext = $_POST['extension'];
 
 *     $full_name = $domain . '.' . $ext;
 
 *
 
 *     include_once('dchk.php');
 
 * 
 
 *     $free = new DCHK();
 
 *     if($free->check_domain("example.com, , , 1")) // Prints the register link also
 
 * } else {
 
 *     <form>
 
 *         Check for a domain name:
 
 *         <input type="text" name="domain" />
 
 *         <select name="extension">
 
 *             <option value="com">.com</option>
 
 *             <option value="org">.net</option>
 
 *             <option value="net">.org</option>
 
 *             <option value="biz">.biz</option>
 
 *         </select>
 
 *         <br />
 
 *         <input type="submit" name ="submit" value="Check now!"/>
 
 *     </form>
