Hi all. I tried all day yesterday to find the solution to this with no luck (and yes that did include searching the forums). So now I'm here to specifically ask.

I have a RaspberryPi at home and want to connect to it remotely but my IP address is not static. I'd really prefer not to pay for a dynamic DNS service when I'm already paying for a personal domain name and hosting service. I've already added a dns zone that points to my home and it works. I can use raspihome.domainname.com to access the RasPi.

Now I want to set up a script on my hosting account that will update the IP address as needed. My intention is to set up a cron job on the RasPi that will connect to the server script (via HTTPS) to provide it with the updated IP address.

I found the following script for using cPanel's JSON API to manange the dnszone entries. But it's not working.

The first php file is what I've got in public_html (this is the page I load in my web browser). When I load it in my browser, the page is blank. I looked at the page source code just to be sure and the following is all that's there.

Why won't it return the DNS entries?
