By the way, if anyone else would like some extra functions for the accounting module, I heard that some people wanted password modification features etc, I would be happy to add them,
when tested working maybe the cpanel staff will add the new file into the distribution so its easier for everyone

Yes. Thanks to jimcarter, I too now understand how this stuff works. If you need functions written, let me know. I have upgrade/downgrade, password mod, create, remove, and I am going to setup suspend/unsuspend. They are very easy to understand.
I can also create new functions for you.

Okay. The two parts. First off is how to use the fuctions. That is pretty straight forward. We will use the createacct for an example.
For this example, all that you need to give it are:
$host = your hostname (usually localhost)
$user = your WHM username (either root or reseller name)
$accesshash = the access hash pasted directly from WHM
$usessl = 1 means to use cURL, 0 means to use socket_connect
$acctdomain = the domain name of the new account
$acctuser = the username of the new account
$acctpass = the password of the new account
$acctplan = the plan name of the new account. (if the plan name has a space, replace it with a + sign)
Just send those variable to this PHP file and it will create the account. If the account is created, it says "Great, the account $acctuser was created successfully". Otherwise it says "Oh no. There was a problem".
-----------------
Next, we look at functions... This came out of my Accounting.php.inc file.
This is a new function that I made. It allows you to change the password of an account.
The part after result (/scripts/passwd) was taken directly from WHM when you submit the form to change the password. Then I inlclude the variables that the password script needs.
Now, I just have to provide the following in a PHP file:
Okay, in the example above, you just provide:
$host = hostname (localhost usually)
$user = your WHM username (root or reseller name)
$accesshash = the access hash directly from WHM
$usessl = 1 means to use cURL, 2 means socket_connect
$acctpass = the new password of the account in cpanel
$acctuser = the username of the account you want to change
If it is successful, it prints "Great job! Your password has been changed to $acctpass". If it isn't, it prints "OOps, you broke it. I don't think that the username was correct".
If you have any other questions, post 'em here.
PHP:
<?
require '/usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Accounting.php.inc';
$host = "localhost";
$user = "root";
$accesshash = 'ACCESS HASH SHOULD BE PASTED HERE';
$usessl = "0";
$do = createacct($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 $acctuser was created successfully.";
}
?>$host = your hostname (usually localhost)
$user = your WHM username (either root or reseller name)
$accesshash = the access hash pasted directly from WHM
$usessl = 1 means to use cURL, 0 means to use socket_connect
$acctdomain = the domain name of the new account
$acctuser = the username of the new account
$acctpass = the password of the new account
$acctplan = the plan name of the new account. (if the plan name has a space, replace it with a + sign)

$result = whmreq("/scripts/passwd?remote=1&nohtml=1&password=${acctpass}&domain=${acctuser}&user=${acctuser}&submit-domain=Change%0D%0A++++++Password",$host,$user,$accesshash,$usessl);
if ($cpanelaccterr != "") { return; }
return $result;
}The part after result (/scripts/passwd) was taken directly from WHM when you submit the form to change the password. Then I inlclude the variables that the password script needs.

PHP:
<?
require '/usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Accounting.php.inc';

$user = "root";

$usessl = "0";
$do = changepass($host,$user,$accesshash,$usessl,$acctpass,$acctuser);
if (eregi("syntax mismatch",$do)){
echo "OOps, you broke it. I don't think that the username was correct.";
}
else {
echo "Great job! Your password has been changed to $acctpass.";
}

I'm useing this exact same script (minus the code and the user), almost the very same example script that cpanel offers, but this thing doesn't work.
<?php
require '/usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Accounting.php.inc';
$host2 = "localhost";
$user2 = "<user here>";
$usessl = "0";
$accesshash = '<access here>';
$pkgs = listpkgs($host2,$user2,$accesshash,0);
print_r($pkgs);
?>
Any thought as to why it might not work?

it is not too hard to do something like this depending on how you want the accounts to be automatically created, i.e. maybe you want them created through your billing system or something,
unfortunately I dont feel like giving all my reseller scripts away :D
thanks

One thing I would like to warning you about this code. You are explosing security issue to your server. The essencial part is $accesshash now on php code which world readable. Any clients on your server could easily find them(if they know about how Cpanel works) and workaround to do with all your accounts.

Re: Re: yep
the exact regexp might be a bit off, I'm recalling it from memory as I dont have access to the script right now. But it's happening because the condition which tests for the end of the header isn't being met, seems apache stopped returning all the control characters the script expects and I think it now just returns a single /n newline as the seperator.
Alternatively (and far far more secure) is to compile php with CURL and CURL SSL and make usessl=1.

IIRC this is due to the way it processes headers from apache in the sockets part of the script. You need to edit near line 122 and add a third condition something like:
Code:
if(preg_match("'\n$'s", $buf)) {
$inheader = 0;
}Alternatively (and far far more secure) is to compile php with CURL and CURL SSL and make usessl=1.

Ok, thanks I will try this. Curl is already installed, but if I would like to use this usessl=1, I'm just getting a empty page. Here is the curl information in phpinfo():
CURL support enabled
CURL Information libcurl/7.10.3 OpenSSL/0.9.6b zlib/1.1.4
Would be really great, if we get this to work.
Thanks
