How to create an Email Account in Cpanel via PHP? [closed]

How do I create email accounts with 开发者_C百科PHP using the xmlapi.php library from cPanel?

Note: I need to create more than 1000 email accounts and want to know if this is possible.

Thanks.

I have updated your question and based on that providing this answer.

1. I see bunch of API's for cPanel for managing the server. Though I don't find a direct API for creating a new email account, but found a script which would help you creating email account.

Please see this link:

You can automate the creation of email id's but creating a http-client that is logging into you cpanel-interface and then performing the needed http-requests to create the email-ids (email accounts).

Something similar has been asked by Iain Clark (Applying .htaccess folder username/password with PHP).

If you write such an automation in PHP you can then create Email-IDs from your PHP script.

Code for similar tasks can be found here and there in the web (e.g. PHP Script To Log Into cPanel), however you should carefully check if that is dealing with your passwords appropriate and that it actually works for your version/style/theme of cpanel.

From the discussion I eventually worked out that you're trying to create a username.

Automatic generation of usernames sucks. They do have to be unique though. Why not let your users pick their own names and reject ones that are already in use.
