Hello,

is it possible that somebody fills in a form on my website and that cpanel creates his account and mails him the account details. so that i don't have to do these things by hand. I know there is an certain risk of automated signups but i just want to explore the possibilities of it. I looked into modernbill and that sort of stuff, but i just want an script that only mails the details to the user and creates the account
I am using Cpanel 6

Thnx in advance

p.s if this is the wrong forum mods please move the thread to the appropriate forum

phpmanager will do. Cheaper.

i am not looking for such an program, just looking for a script that only adds the users inti the database and mails the users their details noting more, nothing less

So you need something that doesn't gather any billing info? So is this for free hosting?

This'll do it:

signup page:

<?php
$pathtoconfig="config.php";
if(isset($newuser))
{
include($pathtoconfig);

$newemail = "$newuser@$domain";
$mpassword = $password2;

$link = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die("Could not select database");
$query="SELECT username FROM $dbtable WHERE((username = '$newuser'))";
$result= mysql_query($query,$link);
if(mysql_num_rows($result) ==0)
{
$query="INSERT INTO $dbtable(name,username,password,email) VALUES ('$name','$newuser','$password2','$replymail');";
mysql_query($query,$link);
$socket = fsockopen($host,2082);
$authstr = "$cpaneluser:$cpanelpass";
$pass = base64_encode($authstr);
$in = "GET /frontend/$cpaneltheme/mail/doaddpop.html?email=$newemail&domain=$domain&password=$mpassword&a=$quota\r\n HTTP/1.0\r\nAuthorization: Basic $pass \r\n";
fputs($socket,$in);
fclose( $socket );

$sendto = $newuser."@YOURDOMAIN.COM,".$replymail;
$subject = "Welcome ".$name." to YOURDOMAIN.COM Webmail";
$message = "Hello ".$name."\n\n"."Your new email address is: ".$newuser."@YOURDOMAIN.COM\n\n"."Your password is: ".$password2;
$extra = "From: ADMIN@YOURDOMAIN.COM\r\nReply-To: ADMIN@YOURDOMAIN.COM\r\n";

mail ($sendto, $subject, $message, $extra);

?>Your account has been created
<?
}
else {
echo 'That username has already been selected, please choose another';
}
mysql_close($link);
}

else { ?>
<form name="orderform" method="post" action="THISPAGE.PHP">

Your Name:<input name="name" type="text">

Alternate email:<input name="replymail" type="text">

Your new email address:<input name="newuser" type="text">@YOURDOMAIN.COM

Password:<input name="password1" type="password">

Confirm Password<input name="password2" type="password">

<script language="JavaScript1.2">


function validateform()
{
if (checkEmailAddress(document.orderform.replymail))
{
if(document.orderform.password1.value == document.orderform.password2.value)
{
document.orderform.submit();
}
else
{
alert("The passwords don't match");
}
}
}

function checkEmailAddress(field) {
var good;
var goodEmail = field.value.match(/\b(^(\S+@).+((\.com)|(\.net)|(\.edu)|(\.mil)|(\.gov)|(\.org)|(\..{2,2}))$)\b/gi);

if (goodEmail){
good = true
} else {
alert('Please insert a valid email')
field.focus()
field.select()
good = false
}
return good;
}


</script>
<input name="signupbtn" type="button" id="signupbtn" value="Sign Up" onClick="validateform()">
</form>
<? }
?>

config.php:

<?
//before this will work you will need to make a database and then run signup.sql in phpmyadmin
//if you need any help email me at support@warwithboredom.com
//also once you have made the table you Must add any email addresses that you already have
//to the data base manually otherwise this script can overwrite mailboxes


$host = "";//your url
$domain = "";//your domain without the www
$cpaneluser = "";//your cpanel username
$cpanelpass = "";//your cpanel password
$cpaneltheme= ""; //this is the word after frontend/ and the next / when you login to cpanel
$dbhost=""; //Usually localhost
$dbuser="";//mysql username
$dbtable="";//only change this if you have access to only one database
$dbpass="";//mysql password
$dbname="";//The name of the database
$quota=;//how much space in k you want to give the user
$mailurl="";//The url for your web based mail program I use http://uebimiau.sourceforge.net but you can use anything
//see http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Email_Systems

//End of settings! you should not need to change anything below this

?>

And you would need a mySQL table with the following:

name : The person's name
username : Their email login
password : Their password
email : Their alternate email address

The mySQL table is so that repeat usernames aren't signed up, since Cpanel sometimes likes to simply overwrite previous usernames for some odd reason, also, it's a nice way of keeping a log of the people who sign up for your email.

I've got a working copy of this here (http://www.quehacemos.com/registromail/index.php) if you'd like to look at it. I've added more things like address & other information plus more checking to ensure all fields are filled. Plus I've made a checkbox so that the user agrees to the conditions set on the page.

Email me if you'd like the complete script, as I can't post something that long.

thnx a lot man.
I will look into this script and let you know how it works

CPanel provides a perl module for interfacing directly with the system using a remote key, as opposed to putting your root (or reseller) password in plaintext.

Which is a bad idea.

where can i find that perl module, becouse it has to be as safe as possible
