PHP accounting

[dhrx]

Hi

I have been searchin the forums for ages now but I have not found an easy way of doing this in the php accounting module.

I want to setup accounts automatically or when a button is clicked without a plan already set up on the server so I obvisly need to send the variables with it.

I tried editing it but I just got errors and confused myself so if possible can somebody post an example of what to be put in the accounting file and what php code should be used so I can setup accounts which quotas and specs are set from variables not from a plan pre made on the server.

Thanks I really need this help

Look at how accounting.php.inc works - it calls on the server scripts :P

So? Do the same to add a plan.

I can't get the url it posts to well I can but not the variables it posts so I don't know how.

Why can't Nick just make the php accounting more functional like the perl version is?

I sure hope he will

Thanks

How isnt it functional?

It calls remote stuff on the other server, for example as you would in WHM yourself, like adduser.cgi?user=what ever

[dhrx]

Sorry need to be more clear.

It is functional, but the perl version has already programmed in add packages add custom plans the works. But the php version hasn't had this kind of treatment I mean.

If anybody can give me the link to the add package thing it would be a great help just the /scripts/ and what ever goes after it with the variables in tact.

Thanks!

For example:

function killacct (
$host,$user,$accesshash,$usessl,$killuser) {
$result = whmreq("/scripts/killacct?user=${killuser}&nohtml=1",$host,$user,$accesshash,$usessl);
      if ($cpanelaccterr != "") { return; }      return $result;  } 

Now, see how that works?
It calls on /scripts/killacct?user=${killuser}&nohtml=1

Now with this in mind, You can make your own function, accept tell it to addpackage? (Or what ever it is)

I thank Nick for his very neat code, A+ man

I am guessing the add package plan is going to be a little more advanced, but if you know php you wont have any problems

[dhrx]

Sorry to post again, but I know how to do that, thats a simple one, the problem is that I don't know the url for the add package whrn i right click props in whm it onlu gives me the start.

/scripts/killacct?user=${killuser}&nohtml=1

I dont know the bit after the killacct I can't get what to post across so all I am going to get is errors, so thats why I would like somebody who knows how that bit works to post the full url with everything intact.

Thanks

ok, let's look at the html for createing a new package in WHM

*note - I cut out all the extra html other than just the basic form for ease of reading.

<form method=POST action="/scripts2/addpkg" name="mainform">
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="text" name="quota">Mega Bytes</td>
<input value="1" type="checkbox" checked name="hasshell"></td>
<input  value="unlimited" type="text" name="maxftp"></td>
<input type="text"  value="unlimited" name="maxpop"></td>
<input  value="unlimited"  type="text" name="maxlst"></td>
<input type="text"   value="unlimited" name="maxsql"></td>
<input type="text" name="maxsub"  value="unlimited" ></td>
<input type="text" name="maxpark"  value="0" >
<input type="text" name="maxaddon"  value="0" ></td>
<input value="1" type="checkbox" name="ip">
<input value="1" type="checkbox" checked name="cgi">
<input value="1" type="checkbox" checked name="frontpage"></td>
<input type="text" name="bwlimit" value="unlimited"> MegaBytes</td>

<select name="cpmod">
<option value=NO>NO</option>
<option value=YES>YES</option>
<option value=advanced>advanced</option>
<option value=tree>tree</option>
<option value=y>y</option>
<option value=monsoon>monsoon</option>
<option value=default selected>default</option>
<option value=iconic>iconic</option>
<option value=mailonly>mailonly</option>
<option value=x>x</option>
<option value=x2>x2</option>
<option value=xmail>xmail</option>
<option value=cclpanel>cclpanel</option>
<option value=bluetrix>bluetrix</option>
<option value=bluelagoon>bluelagoon</option>
<option value=vertex>vertex</option>   </select>

<select name="featurelist">
<option value="testlist">testlist</option>
<option value="default" selected>default</option>
</select>
  
</form> 

now, we know we are going to call the whmreq function

function whmreq ($request,$host,$user,$accesshash,$usessl) { 

so we need to format everything from the form above into the $request string and then call the function

you will have a script that ends up looking like this:

$request = "/scripts2/addpkg?name".$_POST['name']."&quota=".$_POST['quota']...........conintue for each parm 

you get the idea. for each form field append the name and value to the request string. As you can see from the $_POST I am assuming you have a php page where you are getting all the post values from a html form

once you have the request string formated you can call whmreq function

does that help?

Hi

Can anybody spot the error in this I am getting no error message well nothing at all actually.

Really greatful for all your help

Dan

no need to create your own fuction in Accounting.php.inc

just call whmreq

also, I am pretty sure you can not see the $_POST variables inside your fuction. If you want your own fuction you will need to pass them all in. No fun.

give this version a try:

hey, where is the attachment?

Sorry to say that didnt work which is a tad annoying as it looked promising.

Any other ideas?
