You can use the html form tag and then use php to to create database entries based on what they enter...

Could you ask a more specific question next time?

(jshpro, this is quite a specific question, there are applications that do specifically this)

check out clientexec, or modernbill, both of which I _think_ have integration with CPanel account creation. If they don't they're good resources to start from in creating your own hosting management setup

With clientexec, the user signs up on your site actually inside a clientexec script, and I think it does all the work of setting up their account in clientexec (for billing) and their account in CPanel at the same time. ~$99 but worth it

It was not specific in my opinion because he did not supply enough information as to what he wants to do...
does he want to create a folder everytime a user signs up?
does he want to create database entries?
does he want to set something up in his .htaccess for when a user signs up..

he did not say WHAT he wants to do
user just fill a form and bingo everything done
what is "everything"


Unless he already has something like cpanel running on his server in which case he didnt say which softwear he was useing i.e. cpanel, vdeck, etc....

jshpro, if you were familiar with what he's talking about you'd understand what he's asking. with a combination like clientexec and cpanel the user just fills in a form and bingo everythings done. It's not really a PHP question at all, IMO.

Oh when he said "like other free hosting sites" that threw me off, I thought he wanted to make something like geocities and he was asking how his registration script can do everything automatically. I didn't really know what he was asking.
