issue was with php syntax that in cpanel doc

changed to

  // List an account's certificates.
    $SSL_list_certs = $livecpapi->uapi(
        'SSL', 'list_certs'
    );
   var_dump($SSL_list_certs);

working fine

Hello,

I'm happy to see you were able to address the issue. The "Child failed to make LIVEAPI connection to cPanel" error message typically indicates some type of syntax error with the script. In this case, it looks like the document in question shows a comma after the "'SSL', 'list_certs'" entry when it's not required.

Here's a full working example script for anyone else browsing this thread with the same question:

<?php
include("/usr/local/cpanel/php/cpanel.php");  // Instantiate the CPANEL object.
$cpanel = new CPANEL();                       // Connect to cPanel - only do this once.
print $cpanel->header( "Page Heading" );      // Add the header.
?>
<?php
// List an account's certificates.
$SSL_list_certs = $cpanel->uapi(
    'SSL', 'list_certs'
);
var_dump($SSL_list_certs);
?>
<?php
print $cpanel->footer();                      // Add the footer.
$cpanel->end();                               // Disconnect from cPanel - only do this once.
?>

I've opened a case with our documentation team to correct the error on the following document:

https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/SDK/UAPI+Functions+-+SSL::list_certs

Thank you.

Our documentation team has now updated the document referenced in the previous response, in addition to other LiveAPI PHP examples throughout our documentation, to correct the trailing comma syntax.

Thank you.
