Creating an email account with UAPI error

[kylediablo]

Hello!
I am fairly new to development. I am attempting a basic call to create an email address. There are three parts that I need for the liveapi, as far as I understand. I have the index.php with the form, the formhandler.php to reach the last script, addmail.livephp that is in the theme directory.

I am getting a 500 error, and there are no useful error logs as far as I can find that let me know what is going wrong.

(yes I know that I am not using best practices for form input right now, I will be sanitizing and validating input after I can get it working)


Here is what I have:

addmail.livephp
located at /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontent/paper_lantern

<?php


require_once "/usr/local/cpanel/php/cpanel.php";

$domain = 'example.com';
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];



$cpanel = new CPANEL();
 

$get_userdata = $cpanel->uapi(
    'Email',
    'add_pop',
    array(
        'email'           => $username,
        'password'        => $password,
        'quota'           => '0',
        'domain'          => $domain,
        'skip_update_db'  => '1',
    )
);

?>
------------------------------------------------
index.php
located at public_html
<form action="formhandler.php" method="post">
        username: <br>
        <input type="text" name="username"> <br>
        Password: <br>
        <input type="text" name="password">
        <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
--------------------------------------------------
formhandler.php
located at public_html

<?php
include "../../../usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/paper_lantern/addmail.livephp";

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Apologies for the readability of the code, I am unable to edit my message to break the files into separate code blocks or edit my post in any way as the forum marks it as spam or inappropriate.

I'd suggest reading the Guide to the Live API System including Guide to the LiveAPI System - The set_debug() Method - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation

and Guide to the LiveAPI System - The get_debug_log() Method - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation
