Why is my programmatic WHOIS response different from checking on whois.net?

Why is my WHOIS response not the same as when I check it on the website?

This is my code to check WHOIS for Google:

<?php
function checkDomain($domain_check,$server)
{
    // Open a socket connection to the whois server
    $con = fsockopen($server, 43);
    if (!$con) return false;

    // Send the requested doman name
    fputs($con, $domain_check."\r\n");

    // Read and store the server response
    $response = ' :';
    while(!feof($con)) 
    {
        $response .= fgets($con,128); 
    }

    echo $response;
    fclose($con);
}

sleep(5);
$domain_name = "google";
$tld = "com";
$server = "whois.verisign-grs.com";
checkDomain($domain_name.".".$tld,$server); 
?> 

And this is my response:

Then I checked WHOIS for Google https://www.whois.net.

The response from https://www.whois.net has Creation Date: 15-sep-1997.

The response from my code does not have Creation Date, how can I get it from my code?
