TCAdmin with cURL and PHP

[JoshUGT]

I've talked withe people at TCAdmin and theyre only able to provide a certain amount of support, as there script was written in ASP.NET. However, ModernBill does it, and my script somewhat does too... Its supposed to post to the billingapi file and create a new server / user... however it creates the server and assigns it an owner, but there never is a user added.

 

Thanks in advance for any help as to why this isnt working.

 

The problem is: It will post fine to the server, a game server will start, with the user as the OWNER, but when, in TCADmin, I go to users... there isnt a user there that should be. Am i missing something?

 

Here is the code (certain parts removed for security):

 

<?
// declare array
$post_data = array();

// Standard Information
$post_data[tcadmin_username] = "ADMINUSER";// tc admin user
$post_data[tcadmin_password] = "ADMINPASS"; // tc admin pass
$post_data['function'] = "AddPendingSetup"; // tc admin function: AddPendingSetup
$post_data[response_type] = "xml"; // response type from tca - text

$post_data[skip_page] = "1"; // if set to 1 will auto create; 0 will email with a link to configure
// Billing information
$post_data[game_package_id] = "4"; // package id for game server
$post_data[client_id] = "66"; // clients billing id

/* Auto-generate */
$post_data[user_name]  = "mojojojo"; // username
$post_data[user_password] = "tc1234566"; // user_password

// User info
/* Stuff to clean from forms */
$post_data[user_email] = "joe@test.com"; // email
$post_data[user_fname] = "Moe"; // first name
$post_data[user_lname] = "Rend"; // last name
$post_data[user_address1] = "430 Koy Street"; //addr1
$post_data[user_address2] = ""; // addr2
$post_data[user_city] = "Kissimmee"; // city
$post_data[user_state] = "Florida"; // state
$post_data[user_zip] = "32900"; // zip code
$post_data[user_country] = "USA"; // country
$post_data[user_phone1] = "40777777"; // phone #
$post_data[user_phone2] = ""; // alt phone #

// For game servers
$post_data[game_id] = "10"; // game id of game ( css, aao, bf2, etc ) from TCAdmin
$post_data[game_slots] = "16"; // server slots
$post_data[game_private] = "0"; // 1 if private; 0 if public


/* Required for skip page */
$post_data[game_datacenter] = "TC0633808447606"; // game server location / name
$post_data[game_hostname] = "Joshs Test Server"; // servers game name
$post_data[game_rcon_password] = "test"; // rcon pw
$post_data[game_private_password] = ""; // generate pass if private

				   $url = "http://IPADDR/billingapi.aspx";
				
				   $o="";
				   foreach ($post_data as $k=>$v)
				   {
					   $o.= "$k=".utf8_encode($v)."&";
					   echo "$k = $v ::: ".utf8_encode($v)." <br>";
				   }
				   $post_data=substr($o,0,-1);
				  
				   $ch = curl_init();
				   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
				   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
				   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);   
				   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);
				  $result = curl_exec($ch);
				  echo nl2br($result);

?>

I believe Luis created a test page for you Josh that works properly?

 

Did you take a look through the code on it?

[JoshUGT]

He gave me an HTML form.. when submitting the form to the server it doesnt work at all.

[ECF]

Thats odd, he said that you had verified the form worked.. I know you had spoken to him in a ticket previously.

[JoshUGT]

He said he used a file called create.html, im not sure how he used that because i pointed him to a file called variables.php ( which is the form / html file ) and told him that was it, and he said he used a file called create.htm (from another server?) and it worked....

[ECF]

Did the file that he send to you work?

 

I think he was trying to tell you that his example worked, but yours did not. He gave you the page so you could look at the code to figure out what was wrong in your script.

 

Again, this is second hand, as you spoke to him directly in the ticket.

[ECF]

Going over the ticket that you have open with Luis. He sent you a zip file containing a file called create which is what contained the proper setup code.

 

He said he ran it and it created a user which he showed you. Your next question was "Why doesn't mine work?" I think that is where you got lost. He wasn't troubleshooting your script, he was saying open the create file he sent you and look at the code to try and figure out what was in there that was not in yours.

 

In other words, he isn't going to troubleshoot your script for you. He had given you a properly working page to base your script off of.

[JoshUGT]

But therein lies the problem. I tried using *JUST* the html file, with the form's method changed to billingapi.aspx, and it didnt work. The console didnt even report it had recieved anything.

[ECF]

I am not sure why it would not work, since Luis used the same create.htm page and sent you a link to the user it had created.

 

I would suggest responding to the ticket, as he would be able to assist you better than I.

Wow, can I assume correctly in thinkign this will set up a servr with the information you provide? I have been looking for something like this for a very very long time. I tried but failed and gave in
