Here’s another one of my famous 3-hour-projects. I finally decided to cleanup my email. It’s too hard to “clean”, so I decided to start from scratch by making a new email account. So, I made a Google Apps account. Google Apps is a great product, but one thing missing is registration for users. (You must make an account manually for your user) So, I decided to make one myself. This PHP script acts as a proxy between you and Google Apps. It allows your users to create their own account with you and your Google Apps. It is composed of a backend and a frontend. The backend does the work of taking your admin credentials and form data from a user and creating an account for the user. The frontend hosts the GUI. I made sure to well-comment the code, so it should be easy to create your own frontend to match the style and code of your site. I’m probity won’t work on this project again, but because it’s released under GNU v3 (as all my projects), you can take it and add on to it.

How do I get this to work on my google site? I am new to this so if you could make it simple by telling me where to go and what to do with the files I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.
This is only for cPanel based webhosts. So it will not work for you. Sorry.
I appreciate your contribution.. Can you give me a guide on how to learn PHP’s CURL function, cos it’s really powerful.
i don’t have a PHP editor is there another way I can get this on my site? it’s exactly what i need
Without PHP on your web server, there’s no way to run it.
Cool script. But does it check for existing usernames in the domain? i.e. john.smith@abc.com is already registered and a new user still registers as john.smith
What’s the error handling/exception for this incidence?
Thanks
Error handling is done by google. The script is able to pass all errors back to the user.
first question, does it still works or google updates to their API broke things?
another Q, instead of using the admin user/pass why not use API keys for security purposes?
This was written years ago before there was an API and I doubt it still works.
