Answer 1

The script has an error which you also have (copied and pasted from source), being the missing semi-colon at the end of:

require("whoisClass.php")
                         ^ // <= right there

replace with:

require("whoisClass.php");

and it will run.

Having error reporting on, would have signaled the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$whois' (T_VARIABLE) in /user/home/whois.php on line 3

Always use error reporting:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

Footnotes:

When an error is reported on a certain line number, many times the error is on the line before that. In this case it signals being on line 3, yet it's actually on line 2.
