Remote password change script problem... need help!

[sllik]

Ok here is my script...

require '/usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Accounting.php.inc';
$host = "localhost";
$user = "myuser";
$accesshash = 'myaccesshash';

echo change_password($host,$user,$accesshash,1,$this_user,$new_pass); 

last line:
$host,$user,$accesshash,1,$this_user,$new_pass
not:
$host,$user,$accesshash,1,$this_us er,$new_pass
(vbulletin bug?)


and here is my chage_password function that I've added to Accounting.php.inc

function change_password ($host,$user,$accesshash,$usessl,$this_user,$new_pass) {
    $result = whmreq("/scripts/passwd?password=${new_pass}&user=${this_user}",$host,$user,$accesshash,$usessl);
    if ($cpanelaccterr != "") { return $cpanelaccterr; }
    return $result;
} 

it's
$new_pass
not
$new_p ass

When I run the script from a cpanel theme directory (/usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x/change_pass.php), I don't get anything returned. But when I run the script from one of the accounts (/home/account/public_html/change_pass.php), everything works!

I need to run this script from a theme directory... any idea on what the problem is?

A bit of a stab in the dark, but you wouldn't go far wrong checking that the executed script has the correct ownership and permissions to work from the theme directory.

I triple checked that

and the funny thing is, that if I do:

$accts = listaccts($host,$user,$accesshash,0);
print_r($accts); 

it prints the accounts as it should...

argh!

I've changed it to

echo change_password($host,$user,$accesshash,0,$this_user,$new_pass); 

and it works....

any idea why it doesnt like going through ssl?

I changed the Accounting.php.inc with 'function change_password' Sllik described but I receive the following error:

--------------------

My script
require '/usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Accounting.php.inc';
$host = $linha_server[2];
$user = $linha_server[3];
$accesshash = $linha_server[4];
$usessl = 0;
$this_user = $usuario;
$new_pass = $senha;
$sen = change_password($host,$user,$accesshash,$usessl,$dominio,$this_user,$new_pass);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($sen);
echo "</pre>";

Thanks for any help
