Domain API Loop - php

Question

How can I perform the following with this API?
Form is setup in PHP for registered user to enter domain name
On submit..
Check if domain is available >
If NO > output to XML > run the loop again in 5 minutes
If YES > output to XML > go ahead and purchase (register) the domain > end loop
Thank you!
Sample API code
<?php /** * Set the API URL */ $sApiUrl = "https://www.apiurl.com/";
/** * Set POST Parameters */ $aParams = Array(
'uid' => "--USERNAME--", // Username
'pw' => "--APIKEY--", // API Key
'command' => "querydomain", // Command to Rum
'sld' => "sampledomain", // Main part of the Domain
'tld' => "com"); // Domain Extension
/** * Run the cURL command */
$oCurl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($oCurl, CURLOPT_URL, $sApiUrl);
curl_setopt($oCurl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($oCurl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $aParams);
curl_setopt($oCurl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($oCurl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$sResponse = curl_exec($oCurl); curl_close($oCurl);

I can see what it is you are trying to do. However which part in particular are you having issues with? It looks as though you have the API already. Is it not functioning correctly?
Do you need help in writing the PHP to do your 'Yes'/'No' step above?
And why are you "checking again in 5 minutes"?
