Intro

To automate an action in PHP for cpanel it’s very easy. You just need to know some information about your cpanel. You can find this information on your browser link bar.

$cpanel_user - the username that you use to log into your cpanel
$cpanel_password - the password for cpanel.
$cpanel_host - your cpanel host. You can find this after you login to cpanel, right before ‘http://’ until ‘:’.
$cpanel_skin - cpanel skin. You can find this after ‘/frontend/’, default is ‘x’.

I made a list with some useful functions that you can use for cpanel:

 curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://$cpanel_user:

/sql/adddb.html?db=$new_db");
 $result=curl_exec ($curl);
 curl_close ($curl);
