PHP Remote Account Creation Script

[cybercom]

I have been trying to get the PHP script for this to work for a week now. I have searched all through this forum and tried every solution listed here. Are there any settings that must be present either in WHM or on server (other than Curl, which is installed) in order for the script to work. I have used a script which another user posted (Jim) and have tried every combination of variable possible to no avail. With this script I get an error message everytime (the built in message, not PHP error) and no account creation. Am I overlooking something small. I just can't see anything wrong with the script in its present form. I would appreciate any help anyone could give. The script is as follows:

<?php
require '/usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Accounting.php.inc';
$host = "localhost";
$user = "myusername";
$accesshash = 'my access hash';



$usessl = 1;
$acctdomain = "testdomain.com";
$acctuser = "user";
$acctpass = "password";
$acctplan= "Lite";


$do = createacct($host,$user,$accesshash,$usessl,$acctdomain,$acctuser,$acctpass,$acctplan);

if (!eregi("wwwacct creation finished",$do)){
echo "Oh no. There was a problem.";
}

else {
echo "Great, the account $acctuser was created successfully.";

}

?>


Please Help!

Hi

I had exactly the same problem, then I changed $usessl = 0; and it was working.

But the response from the function is not always there. This means, even the Account is created successfully, I don't get the response.

The problem is here:
if (!eregi("wwwacct creation finished",$do)){

the response from the server is various in some circumstance. You have to use "echo $do" to see what is the exact resopnse from the server in your situation, then choose the proper key word to analyse it.

Thanks for the response. I have tried the setting $usessl to 1 and 0. The account is never created no matter which settings I have or even if I leave out the error message part. I am thinking that there is a setting in WHM that turns off? the ability to create accounts remotely. I cannot get my hosting company to look into this because they don't understand the issue. Does anyone know if there is such a setting?

Well, if you never used this feature before. What you should do is log in to WHM, in "Server Setup" section, you will find a link named ''Setup Remote Access Key", click it and follow the instruction to create a remote access key.

After the key created, this feature will be actived automatically.
