I am using WHM/Cpanel to manage my sites. I am on a VPS server on Hostgator. I want to create email accounts dynamically via PHP. Does anyone know what I might need in order to do this ? Any good resources ?? Books or code they can share for me to go about doing this ?

I am only dealing with one cpanel account, not multiple accounts, so I figured i would just need the cpanels API.

  • It is a matter of application (WHM), if you want to send emails via app (whm), better take a look at whm's documentation. If you want to simply run a php script to send your email, you have nothing to do with whm app. I think you should place to your question in http://stackapps.com/ – devasia2112 Apr 25 '11 at 15:57

    I edited my question. I want to create email accounts only. not send emails. I think this is my confusion. WHM allocates website space but cpanel is what truely manages email accounts. So wouldnt I just use cpanel API instead of WHM. I don't mind reading the documentation to get myself going I guess. Its a matter which API do I use to get what I need done. I am only dealing with one CPANEL account, not multiple cpanel accounts. – numerical25 Apr 25 '11 at 16:22

Using cPanel-Matt's XMLAPI php class is the recommended way to do this which you can find here:
