Create ejabberd user from PHP

Question

I need to create an ejabberd user from a PHP script. I also need to be able to add the new user to a predefined shared roster.

Should I just call ejabberdctl<

Answer 1

The easiest way of doing this is using mod_xmlrpc - which allows you to run the ejabberdctl commands using xmlrpc. This is easy to use with a library such as:

https://github.com/gamenet/php-jabber-rpc

/* Add user to Jabber */
use \GameNet\Jabber\RpcClient;
use \GameNet\Jabber\Mixins\UserTrait;
$rpc = new RpcClient([
        'server' => 'jabber.org:4560',
        'host' => 'myhost.org',
        'debug' => false,
    ]);

$result=$rpc->createUser( $username, $password );
