cPanel API 2 Functions - Locale::get_encoding - Knowledgebase

Description

We strongly recommend that you use the following UAPI function instead of this function:

Examples

https://hostname.example.com:2087/cpsess##########/json-api/cpanel?cpanel_jsonapi_user=user&cpanel_jsonapi_apiversion=2&cpanel_jsonapi_module=Locale&cpanel_jsonapi_func=get_encoding

LiveAPI PHP Class

$cpanel = new CPANEL(); // Connect to cPanel - only do this once.

// Retrieve character set encoding for the user.

$get_encoding = $cpanel->api2(

'Locale', 'get_encoding'

);

my $cpliveapi = Cpanel::LiveAPI->new(); # Connect to cPanel - only do this once.

# Retrieve character set encoding for the user.

my $get_encoding = $cpliveapi->api2(

);

cPanel Tag System (deprecated)

Warning:

In cPanel & WHM version 11.30 and later, cPanel tags are deprecated. We strongly recommend that you only use the LiveAPI system to call the cPanel APIs.

cPanel API 2 calls that use cPanel tags vary widely in code syntax and in their output. For more information, read our Deprecated cPanel Tag Usage documentation. Examples are only present in order to help developers move from the old cPanel tag system to our LiveAPI.
