addondomain details API

[shijilts]

I want to write a script in perl that runs in the server such that whenever a
user create a new addon domain or subdomain from his cpanel I should be able to write it to a file with the following details.

subdomain name
addon domain name
user who created the addon domain
document root of the new addon domain

Please point out the easiest way by which I can pass the variables to my perl
script.

I searched for API and found

<?cp AddonDomain::addaddondomain('% %',result,reason) newdomain=$FORM{'domain'},dir=$FORM{'dir'},subdomain=$FORM{'user'},pass=$FORM{'pass'} ?>

and how can I make use or the details from the FORM to pass into my scripts variables.

I find this is commented in x3 theme but when I have deleted this code from doaddondomain.html addon domain is not getting created. So somehow this function is called by cpanel while adding addondomains.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you trying to do this for logging purposes? Or do you want to use this information as part of some other programming you are doing?

This is accomplished via the hooks api, some example code on this can be found at http://www.cpanel.net/support/docs/function-hooks.htm


all of the code in the second example before the line:

my $dref = XMLin($xmldoc);

is generic and can be used with just about any function. after that it's just like working with any other hash from XML::Simple (see: http://search.cpan.org/~grantm/XML-S.../XML/Simple.pm for more info)

Thanks Matt and David for your assistance, hooks did the trick for me.
