How to cut string from whois command in Linux

Question

How can I cut a string from the whois command with PHP on CentOS Linux?

I just want to cut from Domain Name: line to the >>>Last update...<<< line.

My code:

<?php
$output = shell_exec('whois facebook.com');
$result = preg_split('/\n\n/', trim($output));
var_dump($result);
?>

Please post the code as text, never an image. Also, tell us what format the data is and what format you want it in after you parse it. — samiles, May 10 '17 at 10:12
Your language has libraries to deal with whois queries, so do not shell out for that. — Patrick Mevzek, Jan 02 '18 at 16:13

How about using sed:

whois facebook.com | sed -n '/^Domain names/,/^>>> Last update/p'

This will get all lines between the line starting with Domain names and line starting with >>> Last update
