Auto Add Email Accounts

[xMichio]

Hello, Anyone know is it possible to write a CGI or PHP script to tell cPanel to automatically add an email account and certain amount of quota to it?

I've looked to find where I origionally found a portion of this and cannot. So the real author needs the credit.

You need to look closely, Also have a function for delete but this form just adds.

Umm cool thats what i needed but i cant get that to work can you help me please?

[xMichio]

I think i see kinda.. i think that code is 2 web pages, 1 for the php engine and 1 for the html form but i cant seem to get it to work :S

[asmithjr]

You sure you are running Curl on your server?

This is a single file. name it anew.php then make the changes in the config area. (this could be split out to a config file but for simplisity I left it in). If you name the file something else you need to edit the FORM tag in the html area.

access the file via your web browser. the HTML portion calls the php portion.

Edit this area near the top
// Domain Logon Details
$username = "cpanellogin";
$password = "cpanelpassword";

// Domain details
$domain = "domainname.com";
$theme = "x";//eg "fantastico_bluelagoon";

// Parameters to parse
$eDomain = "domainame.com";
$eQuota = "5"; // eg"10";

[xMichio]

That is probaly why it didnt work, i dont have curl were can i get it?

[asmithjr]

you can rebuild apache using /scripts/easyapache then select the option for CURL

[xMichio]

Sorry to be a bother but I cant find this option when I rebuild it:S

[asmithjr]

ok maybe this is easier.

From your WHM you select Software->Update Apache.

Now, there are lots of options here. if you are not sure I would suggest getting some help.

[xMichio]

TY I got it working, very much thanks

[asmithjr]

NP, glad I could help

[xMichio]

Again, just out of curiosity, you wouldnt also have the script for email forwarders?

[AlphaWebspace]

umm how do you mean email fowarders??? I have a script sort of if i think your on what im on about
