In the past post, http://ibnuyahya.com/cpanel-xmlapi-with-codeigniter/ I’ve shared how to use cpanel xmlapi in codeigniter. However, since CI 2.x.. plugins have been removed. But don’t worry, you still can use helper to import external php class.

1. Download xmlapi class from the following url https://github.com/CpanelInc/xmlapi-php
2. Rename the file as xmlapi_helper.php and put in your helpers directory application\helpers\xmlapi_helper.php
3. Done. you can call your xmlapi class as the following example

$this->load->helper('xmlapi');
$xmlapi = new xmlapi($ip);
$xmlapi->password_auth($cpanelUser,$cpanelPwd);
$xmlapi->set_port(2083);
$xmlapi->set_debug(1);

You can download cpanel xmlapi php wrapper from this link http://forums.cpanel.net/f42/xml-api-php-class-version-1-0-a-136449.html

to integrate with codeigniter, you can put xmlapi.php file inside your plugins folder. If that folder is not exist.. you need to create yourself. make sure you rename it into xmlapi_pi.php.

systemapplicationpluginsxmlapi.php

after that.. you can use it in your controller like this

    $this->load->plugin('xmlapi');
    $xmlapi = new xmlapi($ip);
    $xmlapi->password_auth($cpanelUser,$cpanelPwd);
    $xmlapi->set_port(2083);
    $xmlapi->set_debug(1);
