Empty data values in `Iodev\Whois\Modules\Tld\TldInfo`

[deryckoe]

PHP-Whois version: 4.1
PHP version: 8.3
Operating System: macOS

Description

When querying domain information using php-whois, the #dataDefault array in Iodev\Whois\Modules\Tld\TldInfo appears to be empty, even though the actual WHOIS response contains valid data. As a result, critical domain details such as "domainName", "creationDate", "expirationDate", and "owner" are not populated in #dataDefault.

However, when checking $info->response->data['text'], the correct data is present in the raw WHOIS response, suggesting that the issue might be related to parsing or mapping.

How to reproduce

Run the following PHP code:

use Iodev\Whois\Factory;

$whois = Factory::get()->createWhois();
$domain = "pucobre.cl";
$info = $whois->loadDomainInfo($domain);

var_dump($info);

Expected behavior

The parsed WHOIS information should populate all fields, including "domainName", "creationDate", "expirationDate", and "owner".

Actual behavior

Relevant fields in data remain empty:

#data: [
      "parserType" => "common",
      "domainName" => "pucobre.cl",
      "whoisServer" => "",
      "nameServers" => [
        "ns.pucobre.cl",
        "ns2.pucobre.cl",
        "secundario.nic.cl",
      ],
      "dnssec" => "",
      "creationDate" => 0,
      "expirationDate" => 0,
      "updatedDate" => "",
      "owner" => "Sociedad Punta del Cobre",
      "registrar" => "NIC Chile",
      "states" => [],
    ],

    ],
}

Possible Solution

• The parser might not be correctly mapping the extracted data to #dataDefault.
• This could be specific to the .cl TLD parser.
• Updating or improving the regular expressions used for extracting data might help resolve the issue.

Additional context

CLST is not supported as a valid time zone. That may be the source of the problem. I wrote an alternative parser for .cl domains only, which gets the result in plain text, replaces CLST with CLS and then parses the data again. It works as follows.
