Can be run in either way:
- Parameters passed via URL (see example below)
- If no parameters passed via URL then will show email forwarder parameters entry form
Usage:
* Update script with your cPanel login, password, skin (once)
* When running script to create email forwarder, provide following data:
o Username - create email forwarder for this username(sample: john)
o Domain - create email forwarder for this domain (sample: mysite.com)
o Redirect to - forward emails to address (sample: jimm@site2.com)
Sample parameters passing via url:
cpanel_email_forwarder.php?euser=john&edomain=site1.com&eforward=johny@site2.com
cPanel Skin:
Try following steps if you do not know what your current cPanel theme is.
* Login to your cPanel account
* Look at the URL in your browser. It would look somewhat similar to http://www.domain.com:2082/frontend/x/index.html
* cPanel theme name is everything after the "/frontend/", and before the next slash "/". In above example cPanel theme is "x". It could be "x2", "rvblue", etc.
