php hosting control panel - found one - anyone know of a good one?

I have been doing some searching and keep running across this "Mini hosting panel" which seems like it would be pretty easy for users with little knowledge to use. http://scriptsez.net/?action=details&cat=Miscellaneous&id=1193932045

I had plans of installing this into multiple directories for different types of users so that seems to be the only drawback, since it looks like it has to be installed in the root directory.  Does anyone know of another solution like this?  A lot of the searches turn up results for physical control panels with php capabilities and not really php scripts like above.  I was thinking that someone had posted a link to their site with something similar to the above but it was off-topic so the site search here didn't find any results.

The script above has basically everything I am looking for, but I would like to be able to install into multiple directories.  Other solutions out there that I don't know may also have a few more options as well.  Please let me know if you know of anything else!  Thank you!

A good one is Xpanel (xpanel.com) but it is written in Perl.

I remember a very good php product, but that name is not coming to my mind right now....

I will post back if I remember it

WOW! Xpanel looks awesome.  Many many features, and I like the idea of free/paid hosting.  I don't know anything about perl though    I might be getting into a little too much while trying to fit it into the design of the site.  Yeah, it is funny how you can never can remember something when you are thinking about it.  Sounds great, please post if you remember.

If I use the script first mentioned, I am being told...

Please ask your webserver admin to enable this function:
substr_count();
This script will not work properly without it.

I found info on it here http://www.php.net/substr_count   I ran php info and didn't see this, which I assume wouldn't show.  I am unfamiliar with this function, but would there be a way that I might be able to enable this myself, or would the request have to been made to my hosting company? 

This is kind of weird because any other script I have setup has worked, and I don't really recall something needing a specific function like this in order to run.  I don't forsee that this function will be harmful in anyway as far as exploits.

Any help would be appreciated!

substr_count(); is a basic string function (maybe a bad server configuration?)

Not sure Olaf.  Thank you for your reply.  I didn't think it was anything special that would have to be set.  I am emailing my hosting company to see if they can check the php.ini config to see if it is an issue with the server.  Possibly the script, as I have spotted a few spelling errors...so there might be something in the actual coding.

Run this script in your server:

Code:

<?php
 if ( function_exists('substr_count') )
  echo 'Everything is fine';
 else
  echo 'Problem....';
?>

Normally your server should have that function. The only way not to have it is that the admin has disabled it from php.ini

yeah but why? maybe its a php3 config?

Probably. Or maybe in safe mode hosting some admins disable this function for an unknown reason....

yeah together will all other functions

You both have been a big help.  Nicolas I ran that snippet and everything is fine.  The other day I ran a simple hello echo in a php3 ext file and it worked.  Ironically what you 2 have been saying...the server error happens when a few php3 files are needed.

While in FTP I can view an actual users page and it works like it should work.

When I actually type in the domain-name.net/users/testuser   I get the following error...
Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function substr_count() in /complate/path/to/ script/users/header.php3 on line 5

and line 5 shows that function...   $ft = substr_count($file,".");

Tell your hosting account if it is possible to run php3 extension files with the php4 or 5 intepreter

I will double check with them when I hear back from them.  I should be able to create a basic php echo page and give it the php3 file extension and this should work...correct?  I tried that one day last week and a simple php3 page worked.  I believe they are running the latest php version 5 on the server.   

Thanks again for all the help from you guys.

It has been a while since I had a chance to mess with this.  Since you both were helping me with this I thought I would let you know that I tried it on a different hosting server and it worked.  As mentioned, it must have been a server config issue with the hosting I was trying it on.  They basiscally said it was the latest php interpreter and didn't really say anything about php3 files.  At least it is working on this other hosting for now.  Thanks again.
