How to create subdomains for domains via a php script?

[kasutajanimi]

Hey!

What I want to do is to run a php script to which I feed in a list of subdomain names and then it would automatically create those subdomains for a specified domain (and connect those subdomains with folders on my hosting account).

Hello

The following documents are a good place to start when developing a custom PHP script that creates subdomains:

cPanel API 2 Functions - SubDomain::addsubdomain
https://github.com/CpanelInc/xmlapi-php

Thank you.

I think you may be talking about a virtual domain in which case you need to create a new DNS entry in the named file as well as a new VirtualHost container in the httpd.conf file.

If you have an MVC php application with managable routes,
maybe you would also find useful the wildcard DNS,
so that ALL subdomains point to a specific php file / router,
so you can programmatically further control the execution ...

(In cPanel, add a subdomain with: * and point it to have document root
to the folder that you have an index.php that serves as your "router"...)
