How to use localAPI?

[cloudtech]

Hello,

 

I try to use the localAPI but get this error. Thanks for any help.

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function localAPI() in /home/xxx/public_html/whmcs/test.php on line 9

 

 

 

<?php

 

# Set Vars

$command = 'SendEmail';

$values = array( 'messagename' => 'Test Template', 'id' => '6', );

$adminuser = 'admin';

 

# Call API

$results = localAPI($command,$values,$adminuser);

if ($results['result']!="success") echo "An Error Occurred: ".$results['result'];

 

?>

be sure you included the following files:

 

require("dbconnect.php");
require("includes/functions.php");
require("includes/clientareafunctions.php");

 

The functions.php is required for localAPI func I guess.

Thanks sdemidko. I tried including those files, but got another error when I run it.

 

##Error

An Error Occurred: error

 

##The test script

 

<?php

 

require("/home/xxx/www/whmcs/dbconnect.php");

require("/home/xxx/www/whmcs/includes/functions.php");

require("/home/xxx/www/whmcs/includes/clientareafunctions.php");

 

# Set Vars

$command = 'SendEmail';

$values = array( 'messagename' => 'Test Template', 'id' => '6', );

$adminuser = 'admin';

 

# Call API

$results = localAPI($command,$values,$adminuser);

if ($results['result']!="success") echo "An Error Occurred: ".$results['result'];

 

?>

[sdemidko]

try print out $results variable right after call

there might be an explanation

 

also be sure you using user ID in sendemail function

the template you mentioned should be in "General" section

otherwise system will expect product ID or invoice ID (Product Messages and Invoice Messages sections respectively)

I got an answer from support staff. I used it in wrong way.

 

The localAPI has to be used within a WHMCS script like a hook, addon or module, you cannot create standalone files using the localAPI function.
