Editing Account Details

[Kevin]

Jonny and I talked about this over IRC. But I just wanted to create a topic over here for discussion.

The account modification query string in WHM is this.

Code:

https://example.com:2087/scripts/edituser?user=account

Where "account" = the users account and "example.com" = the WHM domain.

Working on how to change it remotely now.

That's a rundown of all the data. Most of the inputs are self explanatory.

See the thing is, the way I use WHM now and it's API is different. There's special pages that only output HTML, no WHM style and only consistent error messages. Also, there isn't a post feature in the WHM class I did. I'll see.

[Kevin]

I'm going to see if it requires POST. WHM might support the GET method.

[Jonny]

I don't think that page does, also, when it has been completed it would output the whole HTML, be stupid to get and filter through.

WHM doesn't officially support remote account modifications. Their API only allows creation/termination/suspension/unsuspension. However, by using Jonny's code, it's possible to do upgrade/downgrade too.
