automatic email account creation help

[princeshoko]

Is there a way to auto create an email account within cpanel like hotmail/gmail does with a php script?

I did a search on these forums found many links, all but one dead and it wanted $99. Looking for a free script.

Thanks

<? require '/usr/local/Cpanel/Accounting.php.inc';
$host = "localhost";
$user = "root";(or you username)
$accesshash ='(insert your access hash here)';
createacct ($host,$user,$accesshash,$usessl,$domain,$username,$password,$package) ;
?>

That looks like a script used to create a hosting account right?

Im looking to auto create email accounts inside an already existing cpanel account with a php submit page.

Or am i misunderstanding the code here?

Yep, this peace of script is creating a new hosting account.

But!... if you now take a look into /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Accounting.php.inc you see how easy it is to add new functions into the script.

time to brush up on my php it looks like. Thanks for the nudge.

Hello,

I'm using this script, which works fine, but I'd like to link the email address also.

How should I do that?

Thanks in advance,
Michael

I would recommend using the XML API because it offers greater flexibility. You can find the XML API documentation at:

http://www.cpanel.net/plugins/xmlapi/index.html

The cool thing with the XML API is you can call API2 functions from it as well. For a list of additional functionality available via API2, refer to the API2 documentation at:

Hi mate,

Use this ammended function I made just for the same purpose

function createacct ($host,$user,$accesshash,$usessl,$acctdomain,$acctuser,$acctpass,$acctemail,$acctplan) {
    $result = whmreq("/scripts/wwwacct?remote=1&nohtml=1&contactemail=${acctemail}&username=${acctuser}&password=${acctpass}&domain=${acctdomain}&plan=${acctplan}",$host,$user,$accesshash,$usessl);
    if ($cpanelaccterr != "") { return; }
    return $result;
}

Thank you david and Phil.

By now, I'll use phil's function, and I'll begin to adapt my system to the new api soon.
