cPanel Remote Bandwidth Script

[dest581]

It isn't a replacement for cpanel, since it grabs the data directly from cpanel. It's a way to display the amount used to your users, who (hopefully :D) cannot view your cpanel.

Also if someone views the source can they see your cpanel info?

[dest581]

In a normal situation, it will not be viewed. Here are the ways that your info could be revealed:

1) PHP breaks. Apache simply sends out the php script, without processing it
2) Someone gets FTP access and downloads it that way

I personally wouldn't use this script because of the tiny chance of hacking. Instead, I'd modify the script so that it updates a txt file with the bandwidth amount. I would then put that script in a non-web-accessable directory, and set up a cron job to run it every 5 minutes.

Before you criticize my 5 minute work, there is another way of doing it this way.

 <?php

    } 
} 
$cpanel = new cpanel( "username", "password", "hostname" ); 

echo $cpanel->account_tables( ); 

$cpanel->_close( ); 
?>

That of course uses the HTTP autentication.


I will also work on changing it for cron at a later date, I am busy writing a few classes for my site.

^I like this version better....

[vigge_sWe]

Oh My God!!! Just what I wanted just in time! I must be able to feel these thing happen. Everytime I want something it pops up right in front of me the same day. What a pity it doesen't do the same thing with money...

Hey brandon, is it possible to do the script show total bandwidth used over time. So if my site have used 50 gb under 1 year it will show that? So it show total bandwidth used from the implementent of the script?

Some things I noticed:

1. the variable $number is two diffferent values:

$number = explode("<td class=\"index2\">", $finally);
$number = explode(" ",$number[1]); 

2. It doesen't work: http://jagf.net/bandwidth.php
