in reply to What is the problem with my script?

Please post ALL the information relevant to your post here; not on pastebin. Edit it into the original (and make a note that you've done so inside the OP).

Please read Markup in the Monastery for advice on formatting.

Please read How do I post a question effectively? and/or How do I post a question effectively? and/or I know what I mean. Why don't you? for more information on what constitutes a good-faith effort to post a question -- which is tantamount to asking others to spend their time providing that help.

Update: And come to think of it, I'm not sure how much stock I'd put in offerings from a website that misspells "available" nor offers any insight into how the information is obtained. IMO, http://rscript.org/lookup.php?type=namecheck&name=foo.com was far-too-fast to have done any realtime checking with registrars, whois, or anything much else.

    Good catch in your update - I fed it a domain I own and got:

    START
NAMECHECK: AVALIBLE
END

    [download]

    (moments later) Hitting the URL without any parameters - http://rscript.org/lookup.php - yields

    START

    So it's not a domain availability check; player-name would be my guess.
