Create webmail account with PHP

How can i create webmail accounts using PHP? I am using cPanel. I tried several scripts but none of them seem to work, can someone give me some insight with this?

Thank you very much!!

Solution

  • You need the Cpanel XML API class. Download it here:

    http://sdk.cpanel.net/lib/xmlapi/php/cp_xmlapi_php_v1.0.5.tar.gz

    It comes with usage examples but this can get you started:

    include('xmlapi.php');

$account = "Cogicero";
$account_pass = "password";
$ip = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx";

$email_user = "cogicero";
$email_password = "password";
$email_domain = "cogicero.com";
$email_quota = "100";

$xmlapi = new xmlapi($ip);
$xmlapi->password_auth($account, $account_pass);
$xmlapi->set_output('xml');

$result = $xmlapi->api1_query($account, "Email", "addpop", array($email_user,   $email_password, $email_quota, $email_domain) );

    Edit: If you need more information on the API, see this: http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/AutomationIntegration/XmlApi
