Guide to the LiveAPI System - The cpanelprint() Method

The cpanelprint() method returns a cPanel variable's value.

Warning:

To return a hash reference of a cPanel variable's value, use the fetch() method.

Example

LiveAPI PHP Class

// Retrieve the cPanel account's username.
$cpanel->cpanelprint('$user');

LiveAPI Perl Module

# Retrieve the cPanel account's username.
$cpliveapi->cpanelprint('$user');

Parameters

Parameter Type Description Possible values Example
variable string A cPanel variable. A valid cPanel variable. Surround this variable with single quotes (''). For a full list of cPanel variables, read our Guide to cPanel Variables.

The single quotes in this example are required. The method does not interpolate them. Instead, it passes those quotes to cPanel's print function, which requires them in order to return the correct value.
'$user'

Returns

This method returns the cPanel variable's value as a string.
