For billing software, I use WHM Complete solutions which I like a lot. WHMCS provides an API so that external scripts can interface with it. When someone signs up, I would like for the XOOPS sign-up form to interface with WHMCS so as to create a billing account with the same username, password, and other info and was wondering how hard this would be to do? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Here's the instructions for connecting with the API:
Communicating with the WHMCS API is very simple.
The below code is a PHP code example of how it can be done.
$url = "http://www.yourdomain.com/whmcs/includes/api.php"; # URL to WHMCS API file goes here
$username = "Admin"; # Admin username goes here
$password = "demo"; # Admin password goes here
$postfields["username"] = $username;
$postfields["password"] = md5($password);
$postfields["action"] = "addinvoicepayment";
$postfields["invoiceid"] = "1";
$postfields["transid"] = "TEST";
$postfields["gateway"] = "mailin";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$data = explode(";",$data);
foreach ($data AS $temp) {
$temp = explode("=",$temp);
$results[$temp[0]] = $temp[1];
}
if ($result["result"]=="success") {
# Result was OK!
} else {
# An error occured
echo "The following error occured: ".$result["message"];
}
?>
And here's the new client command:
