Why would someone need access directly to cPanel?
It's easy: You can do many things like, manage multiple hosting accounts in one, keep track of your addon or parked domains, retrieveing raw log files and using them with your own analyzer scripts.This class is not for the unexperienced PHP programmer and you need intermediate skills to advanced to make use of it to its fullest.
cPanel is probably the most popular hosting management console and still some (like me) want more. I needed access to the raw access logs, and after contacting support realized the only way to get the raw access logs of my cPanel hosting hosted website was by donwloading manually from cPanel. But I code every job, no manual work for me! Got to work and about 3 hours later had this script done and functional.
So the reason I wrote this script is te retrieve my raw access logs and analyze them but posibilities are endless. You can use it to access any page in cPanel and even do posts. You can create a centralized domain management console for all your cPanel php hosting put into one.
