PHP class for communicating with DA

[l0rdphi1]

Hey.

This is a small PHP class put together to help communicate with DirectAdmin. It is simple enough, and most anyone can make good use of it.

Current Version: v2.6
Last updated 2005-07-29

Download: php-source or tarball

Numerous implementation examples are located here.

Pretty nifty, eh?

An additional method is to simply use fopen(), file(), or getfilecontents() on the full URL. For example:

PHP Code:

$diskUsage = getfilecontents("http://user:pass@your.server.com:2222/CMD_API_SHOW_USER_USAGE?user=$some_user_name")

echo "Disk Usage is: $diskUsage"; 


Just another way of doing this... :) Thanks for sharing your method, I might put it to good use...

That doesn't work with the new sessions sytem. And plus you have to parse_strthe results

How would you send your information to CMD_ACCOUNT_USER to create an account?
I made all the fields and such, but I'm unsure on how to send the info.

[l0rdphi1]

John said he'd be adding an API_ACCOUNT_USER soon, but right now I use:

PHP Code:

        $fsock->request("/CMD_ACCOUNT_USER?username=$client_sql[client_uname]&email=".strtolower($client_sql[client_email])
            ."&passwd=$client_sql[client_pword]&passwd2=$client_sql[client_pword]&domain=$client_sql[client_domain]"
            ."&bandwidth=".($client_sql[client_bandwidth]*1024)."&quota=$client_sql[client_storage]&uvdomains=ON&unsubdomains=ON"
            ."&unemails=ON&unemailf=ON&unemailml=ON&unemailr=ON&umysql=ON&udomainptr=ON&uftp=ON&aftp=ON&cgi=ON&ssl=ON"
            ."&suspend_at_limit=ON&skin=loopXv1&ip=$server_ip&add=Submit&action=create"); 


$client_sql is an array of the user's data.

$server_ip the server's shared IP.

*Note: This example uses the version 1.xx of this class; you need the wrapper to continue in this fashion*

I edited my original post to include version 1.1 of the class.

I hadn't realized PHP's parse_str() function breaks when DA uses '&' characters in the returned string, and thus version 1.1 fixes this.

Additionally, I recently replied to this thread with the code I use to create DA accounts.

Enjoy,

Hi,

Looks interesting, what can it do exactly? Is it just for the API commands?

Cheers,
Matt

[l0rdphi1]

Yeah, it's a simple tool for using DA's API. You could use it for other socket connections too though.

Thanks

I have one question, when this code is in actual working form, cant someone go "view source" and pull out your username and password for DA Login?

[l0rdphi1]

Not that I'm aware of. Even if view-source worked for me, shouldn't it only display the HTML source, and not any of the PHP?

And incase you fear someone actually getting the PHP source: you could always encrypt the password making it at least a little harder to figure out.

I just updated to 1.2 to fix some problems with url encoded arrays.

Enjoy

How about having visitors create mailboxes?

How do you implement this in the class?

<form action=/CMD_EMAIL_POP method=POST>
action=create
domain=domain.com
user=emailname (do not include @domain.com)
passwd=password
passwd2=password
create=Create

???

[l0rdphi1]

You won't need a class if you're going to send it via a form, but then again, I'm not sure that will even work. Try it, if you please.

I can modify the class to support POST, but I won't get time enough for that until this weekend.

Phi1.

[thoroughfare]

Just post the form to your own PHP script, which in turn parses the form and uses the DA communicating class to send the info on to DA

Matt

[l0rdphi1]

The problem as I take it is that DA's CMD_EMAIL_POP API doesn't take GET data. As I said though, I can add support for POST this weekend

[FarCry]

this needs a little *bump* or a little bit of a sticky?

[l0rdphi1]

I'm currently in the process of rewriting this by the way. Will support both GET and POST, and fix a bug in the array_last_parsed method.

Feel free to sicky, if you like

[l0rdphi1]

Thanks for the sticky

We should see v2.0 today. Yay.

[l0rdphi1]

Okay, 2.0 is up. There have been a lot of changes.

I put together a wrapper for old versions, so you don't have to recode anything. Check that out here.

Enjoy
