When I use your script to search for Google.com or any popular domain, it's just listing a bunch of domains that contain that domain in it. It also has the following message:

To single out one record, look it up with "xxx", where xxx is one of the
records displayed above. If the records are the same, look them up

with "=xxx" to receive a full display for each record.

What needs to be done for it to actually get the whois results for any domain that's entered?

Typically you need to just simply put a "=" in front of your query, like this:

$domain = '=google.com';
//then lookup in the WHOIS database

By placing a equals symbol in front of the domain name, the WHOIS server will only return the top result and the metadata associated with that result.
