Check if an account already exists?

[UltimateS]

How would i do that with the api?

There are numerous calls that would allow for performing that sort of function. The main one that I can think of off hand would be calling accountsummary with the potential user passed as an argument to it. If you need more info, I can help you out tomorrow.

Use that function with searchtype set as domain. You really need to start reading the documentation and stop asking silly questions in the forums

I will try that out, thanks. One more thing, how can i check if a domain is being used by any user?




Sorry for all the questions.

This hasnt been tested, might work though.. 99% sure it will. as its just modified code I use.

$exist = false;
$test_user = "username";
$str = $xmlapi-> listaccts();
$doc = new DOMDocument();            
@$doc->loadHTML($str);        
$s = @simplexml_import_dom($doc);
$acct = $s->body->listaccts->acct;
foreach($acct as $var => $value){
    $user     = $value->user;
    if($user == $test_user){
               $exist = true;
        }
}
if(!$exist){
//user doesnt exist
} else {
//user does exist
}
