Create database programatically from PHP on WHM/cPanel server

Question

I was wondering whether it is possible to create a new database and user, from PHP, on an WHM/cPanel server.

Answer 1

For CPanel:

function create_db($cPanelUser,$cPanelPass,$dbName) {

$buildRequest = "/frontend/x3/sql/addb.html?db=".$dbName;

$openSocket = fsockopen('localhost',2082);
if(!$openSocket) {
    return "Socket error";
    exit();
}

$authString = $cPanelUser . ":" . $cPanelPass;
$authPass = base64_encode($authString);
$buildHeaders  = "GET " . $buildRequest ."\r\n";
$buildHeaders .= "HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$buildHeaders .= "Host:localhost\r\n";
$buildHeaders .= "Authorization: Basic " . $authPass . "\r\n";
$buildHeaders .= "\r\n";

fputs($openSocket, $buildHeaders);
while(!feof($openSocket)) {
    fgets($openSocket,128);
}
fclose($openSocket);


//echo "Created database $dbName";

}

create_db('username','password','dbName');
