WHM XML API ready to use class

[arash_hemmat]

Hi
I made a class to work with WHM XML API and I see no reason to hide it so I shared it on phpclasses, you can download it from here: (You need PHP 5.x to use it)
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/4150.html
It can establish secure HTTP connections to a Web server to manage Cpanel/WHM accounts and authenticates on behalf of a given WHM user.
Please read the README file before using.
Some of the XML API functions has not been implemented yet but I will add them on the next version.

I'm waiting for your comments and questions, if you like this class please rate it on phpclasses.

Regards

I'm in the process of playing with your script, and I thought I'd share what I've come up with -- it's not refined yet, but I got it working, and I couldn't find this information laid out anywhere specifically...

I wanted to add some of the cPanel API2 stuff. The first thing I thought I'd test was to add a forwarder.

The first thing I did was add a nastly little hacked function to your class:

    # Function to pass xml to cpanel
        function cpxml($user, $xml)
    {
    
        $cp_xml = '/xml-api/cpanel?user=' . $user . '&xmlin=' . $xml;
    
        //connect using prpoer xml api address
        $this->connect($cp_xml);
        //get the output
        $result = $this->getOutput();
        
        return $result;
    } 

I used the example init and result/error display code, and hacked in this function call:

$cp_user = 'someuser';
$cp_xml_start = '<cpanelaction>';
$cp_xml_module = '<module>Email</module>';
$cp_xml_function = '<func>addforward</func>';
$cp_xml_version = '<apiversion>2</apiversion>';
$cp_xml_args = '<args><fwdemail>some@email.tld</fwdemail><fwdopt>fwd</fwdopt><domain>some.tld</domain><email>someone</email></args>';
$cp_xml_end = '</cpanelaction>';
$cp_xml = $cp_xml_start . $cp_xml_module . $cp_xml_function . $cp_xml_version . $cp_xml_args . $cp_xml_end;

$result=$task->cpxml($cp_user,$cp_xml); 

It's also ugly, but I was having a heck of a time figuring out how to get it working.

Part of that was because in the original function, I didn't have "?user=", I just had "?", so I wasn't passing it a cpanel user to work with. D'oh!

But still, I just couldn't find this laid out and written clearly anywhere.... so I hope you don't mind it in this thread - I hope this saves someone some time.
