Im trying to automate the installation of some custom software using cpanel/whm and postwwwacct php script.This requires files to be copied to the users public_html folder then
require("xmlapi.php"); // this can be downlaoded from https://github.com/CpanelInc/xmlapi-php/blob/master/xmlapi.php
$xmlapi = new xmlapi("your cpanel domain");
$xmlapi->set_port( 2083 );
$xmlapi->password_auth($opts['user'],$opts['pass']);
$xmlapi->set_debug(0);//output actions in the error log 1 for true and 0 false
$cpaneluser=$opts['user'];
$databasename="something";
$databaseuser="else";
$databasepass=$opts['pass'];
//create database
$createdb = $xmlapi->api1_query($cpaneluser, "Mysql", "affffdb", array($databasename));
//create user
$usr = $xmlapi->api1_query($cpaneluser, "Mysql", "adduser", array($databaseuser, $databasepass));
//add user
$addusr = $xmlapi->api1_query($cpaneluser, "Mysql", "adduserdb", array("".$cpaneluser."_".$databasename."", "".$cpaneluser."_".$databaseuser."", 'all'));
The above code worked for me! Need to make sure that you are using a cpanel user/pass not root and also that you are using port 2083
