A standalone, fully documented, bugless, fast and super easy to use PHP SDK for registering domain names.
Set $ns_key to your api key provided by namesilo and then include namesilo.php in your application.
In namesilo.php file set your api key:
$ns_key = 'your api key goes here';To receive a sandbox API key for testing, please contact namesilo.
For development edit namesilo.php and set
$ns_url = 'http://sandbox.namesilo.com/api/';For production set
$ns_url = 'https://www.namesilo.com/api/'; To enable debugging edit namesilo.php and set $ns_debug to true.
$ns_debug = true;Once enabled, all ns_* functions print_r() their request and return value.
never turn debugging on in production.

$lock_status = ns_lock_status('example.com');
if($lock_status)
echo 'domain is lock';

echo 'domain is unlock';Locking example.com:
$result = ns_domain_lock('example.com'); // attempt to lock exmaple.com
if($result){
echo 'Successfully locked the domain.';
}else{
echo 'The reason it failed: ' . $ns_error;
}ns_domain_lock() retruns true on success and false on failure.
$ns_error is a global variable set by ns_domain_lock()
if you call ns_domain_lock() inside another function make sure to define $ns_error as a global variable global $ns_error;
