I'm trying to use cPanel API to grab my disk space usage and I'm getting the following error - I'm using cPanel API.

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to mywebsite.com:2082 (Connection timed out) in /home/mywebsite/public_html/cPanel.php on line 53
Disk Space Used: 0 MB

This is my small test code (my real login parameters removed):

PHP Code:

include "cPanel.php"; 
$cPanel = new cPanel('mywebsite.com', 'username', 'password', 2082, false); 
echo 'Disk Space Used: ' . $cPanel->getSpaceUsed() . ' MB<br>'; 


The problem was my hosting providers firewall. They suggested I use "localhost" instead of the domain name. So I did that and it fixed that fsockopen() error.

PHP Code:

include "cPanel.php";  
$cPanel = new cPanel('localhost', 'username', 'password', 2082, false);  
echo 'Disk Space Used: ' . $cPanel->getSpaceUsed() . ' MB<br>'; 


Now however, the Disk Space Used is 0MB and that isn't right. Username and Userpassword should connect to the target cPanel account and fetch the disk space used. Does anyone have any idea's on this issue?
