Find user homedir

[tecwithquestion]

Hello

In x3 I was using below code to find user's home dir
<cpanel PHP="loadvars()">
$homedir = $_CPANEL['USERDATA']['home'];


Can someone please tell how can I find user homedir using live.php file ?

Thanks

Hello,

The "homedir" return is part of the following UAPI function:

UAPI Functions - DomainInfo::domains_data - Software Development Kit - cPanel Documentation

We document an example of how to use that UAPI function with LiveAPI at:

Guide to the LiveAPI System - PHP Class - Software Development Kit - cPanel Documentation

Thank you.

Hello,

This is still not working at my end if someone could explain more please

in x3 I used this

<cpanel PHP="loadvars()">
$HOMEDIR = $_CPANEL['USERDATA']['home'];

function get_settings() {
    global $HOMEDIR, $SETTINGS;
    $phpini= file_get_contents("$HOMEDIR/php.ini");

note that  my script works perfectly if I save it .php but header and footer will be missing and if I save it .live.php
it returns with an error

in the new paper lantern theme I tried the following :

<?php
$get_userdata = $cpanel->uapi(                // Get domain user data.
    'DomainInfo', 'domains_data',
    array(
        'format'    => 'hash',
    )
);

function get_settings() {
    global $HOMEDIR, $SETTINGS;
    $phpini= file_get_contents("$get_userdata/php.ini");

?>

but didn't work.

please advice

and is it still possible to use header and footer in .php ? what will be the code

Thank You

Child failed to make LIVEAPI connection to cPanel.

is there any way to keep using .php header and footer and avoid .live.php ? because my script is running perfectly when i save it .php the only thing is that its missing the header/footer , my only issue is with $HOMEDIR with live php,

You could use Template Toolkit instead if you have no requirement for PHP at all:

Otherwise, consider sending an email to [email protected] for additional feedback on your custom script.

Thank you.
