As far as how to create new accounts from scripts on Cpanel servers,
the following is a general basic example how to do that:
<form action="setup.php" method='post'>
<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><div align="right">
<input name="domain" type="text">
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><div align="right">
<input name="apass" type="text">
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><div align="right">
<input name="auser" type="text">
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><div align="right">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</div></td>
</tr>
</table></form>
<?php
require '/usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/Accounting.php.inc';
foreach($_POST as $key => $val) {
$$key = strtolower(trim(stripslashes($val)));
}
$host = "localhost";
$user = "root";
$rkey = '(paste your remote access key here)';
$plan = "(paste your plan name here)";
@createacct("$host", "$user", "$rkey", 0, "$domain", "$auser", "$apass", "$plan");
Names of account packages should not contain any spaces or punctuation
which the sole exception being the underscore (_) character which is permitted.
Because of the "require" line calling a file outside the web path, you will need
to either disable "open_basedir" for the hosting account using the setup script
or you will need to add the /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel path to open_basedir
in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf configuration file to allow for automatic
scripted account creations.
Naturally you can greatly expand upon this sample code and add in sanity checks
and test code to make sure the proper variables have been set but, this is
the basics of what you need to know here as to how to do it yourself.
Knowing this you could either write your own billing component or use
any of the billing applications out there and link to something like this.
