I am in the process of trying to create emails using PHP.
This is my code so far it is very basic until I can get a working script. This is the closest I have got but it says it has added the email although in cpanel the email doesn't exist so it obviously isn't :)
Please note the following information within this code has been edited for security reasons (e.g. not a real password, username or domain).
This is the code I found and have been trying to work out..
<?php
// cPanel info
$cpuser = 'someusername'; // cPanel username
$cppass = 'somepassword'; // cPanel password
$cpdomain = 'somesite.com'; // cPanel domain or IP
$cpskin = 'someskin'; // cPanel skin. Mostly x or x2.
// See following URL to know how to determine your cPanel skin
// http://www.zubrag.com/articles/determine-cpanel-skin.php
// Default email info for new email accounts
// These will only be used if not passed via URL
$epass = 'hispassword'; // email password
$edomain = 'somesite.com'; // email domain (usually same as cPanel domain above)
$equota = 20; // amount of space in megabytes
function getVar($name, $def = '') {
if (isset($_REQUEST[$name]))
return $_REQUEST[$name];
else
return $def;
}
// check if overrides passed
$euser = getVar('user', '');
$epass = getVar('pass', $epass);
$edomain = getVar('domain', $edomain);
$equota = getVar('quota', $equota);
$msg = 'check';
if (!empty($euser))
while(true) {
// Create email account
$f = fopen ("http://$cpuser:$cppass@$cpdomain:2082/frontend/$cpskin/mail/doaddpop.html?email=$euser&domain=$edomain&password=$epass"a=$equota", "r");
if (!$f) {
$msg = 'Cannot create email account. Possible reasons: "fopen" function allowed on your server, PHP is running in SAFE mode';
break;
}
$msg = "<h2>Email account {$euser}@{$edomain} created.</h2>";
// Check result
while (!feof ($f)) {
$line = fgets ($f, 1024);
if (ereg ("already exists", $line, $out)) {
$msg = "<h2>Email account {$euser}@{$edomain} already exists.</h2>";
break;
}
}
@fclose($f);
break;
}
?>
<html>
<head><title>cPanel Email Account Creator</title></head>
<body>
<?php echo '<div style="color:red">'.$msg.'</div>'; ?>
<h1>cPanel Email Account Creator</h1>
<form name="frmEmail" method="post">
<table width="400" border="0">
<tr><td>Username:</td><td><input name="user" size="20" value="<?php echo htmlentities($euser); ?>" /></td></tr>
<tr><td>Password:</td><td><input name="pass" size="20" type="password" /></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" align="center"><hr /><input name="submit" type="submit" value="Create Email Account" /></td></tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Thank you in advance :)

There is an xml api for cpanel, and some php classes to make the requests. Many people have server configurations that make fopen problematic, but the xmlapi.php file works on many different web hosts.
include("xmlapi.php"); //XMLAPI cpanel client class
$ip = "127.0.0.1"; // should be server IP address or 127.0.0.1 if local server
$account = "username"; // cpanel user account name
$passwd ="password"; // cpanel user password
$port =2083; // cpanel secure authentication port unsecure port# 2082
$email_domain ="example.com";
$email_user ="john";
$email_pass ="johnspassword";
$email_quota = 0; // 0 is no quota, or set a number in mb
$xmlapi = new xmlapi($ip);
$xmlapi->set_port($port); //set port number.
$xmlapi->password_auth($account, $passwd);
$xmlapi->set_debug(0); //output to error file set to 1 to see error_log.
$call = array(domain=>$email_domain, email=>$email_user, password=>$email_pass, quota=>$email_quota);
$result = $xmlapi->api2_query($account, "Email", "addpop", $call );
print_r($result); //show the result of your query
The full list of email functions in the api is available here. https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/SDK/cPanel+API+2+-+Email
