Virtualmin domain name registration in PHP

In a PHP web page I need to run this following command to create a new domain:

virtualmin create-domain --domain DOMAIN --pas开发者_如何学编程s PASS --plan 'Standard Package' --limits-from-plan --features-from-plan

This is usually executed in a shell but I don’t know how to do it from a web page and also I need to take the DOMAIN and PASS strings from a web form. Can anyone help with the PHP code? My skills are basic and I have already tried a few things that just don’t work.

How about shell_exec() ?:

shell_exec("virtualmin create-domain --domain DOMAIN (...)");

or the backtick operator:

`virtualmin create-domain --domain DOMAIN (...)`

You can access parameters submitted via a HTML form with the $_POST array. But make sure to validate the user input. I suggest to read a tutorial about this.

You have to run this command as root or using sudo. I'm currently looking into the same thing, but there doesn't seem to be a 100% safe and secure way of running it using root/sudo.

However, if you would like, you can call a script in php as sudo and change password request off. You can pass the variables into it

 exec("sudo /your/script.sh $Domain $Pass");

Your bash script would look like this:

 #!/bin/bash
 domain=$1
 pass=$2
 virtualmin create-domain --domain $domain --pass $pass --plan 'Standard Package' --limits-from-plan --features-from-plan

You should allow executing your script without password prompt. Run sudo visudo in console and add the following string to the end:

 nobody ALL = NOPASSWD: /your/script

You must set up file mode properly to ensure that no one can modify this script and put dangerous contents into it (in root console):

 chown root:root /your/script
 chmod 755 /your/script
