Create subdomain and FTP user account using PHP

[MarkCool]

Hi Everyone,
this is my first post here, I have tried all over the net!

I have a script that creates an subdomain in cpanel and an FTP account for that subdomain, however everytime I run it I get an error;

in ScriptAlias cgi-bin entry for subdomain in apache config, once added its putting entry as

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/user/public_html/
cgi-bin/

But it should be
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/user/public_html/cgi-bin/

So its splitting the ScriptAlias path in 2 lines.

And this stops all websites in my shared hosting account from working. Obviously I am not the most favourite person in the eyes of my hosting provider.

Here is the code that creates the subdomain

<?php

###############################################################
# cPanel Subdomains Creator 1.1
###############################################################
# Visit http://www.zubrag.com/scripts/ for updates
###############################################################
#
# Can be used in 3 ways:
# 1. just open script in browser and fill the form
# 2. pass all info via url and form will not appear
# Sample: cpanel_subdomains.php?cpaneluser=USER&cpanelpass=PASSWORD&domain=DOMAIN&subdomain=SUBDOMAIN
# 3. list subdomains in file. In this case you must provide all the defaults below
#
# Note: you can omit any parameter, except "subdomain".
# When omitted, default value specified below will be taken
###############################################################

// cpanel user
define('CPANELUSER','username');

// cpanel password
define('CPANELPASS','password');

// name of the subdomains list file.
// file format may be 1 column or 2 columns divided with semicilon (;)
// Example for two columns:
//   rootdomain1;subdomain1
//   rootdomain1;subdomain2
// Example for one columns:
//   subdomain1
//   subdomain2
define('INPUT_FILE','domains.txt');

// cPanel skin (mainly "x")
// Check http://www.zubrag.com/articles/determine-cpanel-skin.php
// to know it for sure
define('CPANEL_SKIN','x3');

// Default domain (subdomains will be created for this domain)
// Will be used if not passed via parameter and not set in subdomains file
define('DOMAIN','domain');


/////////////// END OF INITIAL SETTINGS ////////////////////////

function getVar($name, $def = '') {
  if (isset($_REQUEST[$name]) && ($_REQUEST[$name] != ''))
    return $_REQUEST[$name];
  else 
    return $def;
}

$cpaneluser=getVar('cpaneluser', CPANELUSER);
$cpanelpass=getVar('cpanelpass', CPANELPASS);
$cpanel_skin = getVar('cpanelskin', CPANEL_SKIN);

if (isset($_REQUEST["subdomain"])) {
  // get parameters passed via URL or form, emulate string from file 
  $doms = array( getVar('domain', DOMAIN) . ";" . $_REQUEST["subdomain"]);
  if (getVar('domain', DOMAIN) == '') die("You must specify domain name");
}
else {
  // open file with domains list
  $doms = @file(INPUT_FILE);
  if (!$doms) {
    // file does not exist, show input form
    echo "

<form method='post'>
  Subdomain:<input name='subdomain'><br>
   FTP pass:<input name='fpass'><br>
  <input type='submit' value='Create Subdomain' style='border:1px solid black'>
</form>";
    die();
  }
}

// create subdomain
function subd($host,$port,$ownername,$passw,$request) {

  $sock = fsockopen('localhost',2082);
  if(!$sock) {
    print('Socket error');
    exit();
  }

  $authstr = "$ownername:$passw";
  $pass = base64_encode($authstr);
  $in = "GET $request\r\n";
  $in .= "HTTP/1.0\r\n";
  $in .= "Host:$host\r\n";
  $in .= "Authorization: Basic $pass\r\n";
  $in .= "\r\n";
 
  fputs($sock, $in);
  while (!feof($sock)) {
    $result .= fgets ($sock,128);
  }
  fclose( $sock );

  return $result;
}

foreach($doms as $dom) {
  $lines = explode(';',$dom);
  if (count($lines) == 2) {
    // domain and subdomain passed
    $domain = trim($lines[0]);
    $subd = trim($lines[1]);
  }
  else {
    // only subdomain passed
    $domain = getVar('domain', DOMAIN);
    $subd = trim($lines[0]);
  }
  // http://[domainhere]:2082/frontend/x/subdomain/doadddomain.html?domain=[subdomain here]&rootdomain=[domain here]
  $request = "/frontend/$cpanel_skin/subdomain/doadddomain.html?rootdomain=$domain&domain=$subd";
  $result = subd('localhost',2082,$cpaneluser,$cpanelpass,$request);
  $show = strip_tags($result);
  echo "domain created!"; 
 include("ftp.php"); 
}

?>

And here is the code that creates the FTP account

<?php

###############################################################
# cPanel FTP Account Creator 1.0
###############################################################
# Visit http://www.zubrag.com/scripts/ for updates
###############################################################
# Required parameters:
# - domain - create ftp account for this domain
# - fuser - ftp account username
# - fpass - ftp account password
# - fquota - ftp account quota
# - fhomedir - ftp account home directory (home folder)
#
# Sample run: cpanel-add-ftp.php?domain=reseller.com&fuser=ftp555&fpass=ftp12345&fquota=50&fhomedir=/
#
# This script can also be run from another PHP script. This may
# be helpful if you have some user interface already in place and 
# want to automatically create FTP accounts from there.
# In this case you have to setup following variables instead of
# passing them via url as parameters:
# - $domain - new account domain
# - $fuser - new ftp account username
# - $fpass - new ftp account password
# - $fquota - account quota
# - $fhomedir - user's home directory
#

if ($result === FALSE) die("ERROR: FTP Account not created. Please make sure you passed correct parameters.");
echo $result;

?>

Can anyone see what is going wrong and why I am getting this error? I appreciate any help you can offer :-)
