Trigger ISPConfig vhost folders creation - php

Question

I make an script that fill up all ISPConfig tables by itself and now i only need to raise some script to create the needed vhost and the rest of the symblink needed for apache to work.
My Script is working like a charm since i can view all the data correctly using the ISPConfig frontend.
Digging into the ISPConfig panel i see a RaiseEvent function triggered everytime a record is created but i can't trace where it ends and how it perform the creation of the symblink.
Maybe calling some function or cron it can work.
I'm using Apache 2 + PHP 5.3 + MySQL + ISPConfig 3 on Ubuntu Server 10.4

Ok I respond myself.
Since version 3 ISPConfig came with a simple API that let you performe some operation like Adding FTP Users, Websites and Databases.
I left here an example of how to create a database:
$params_db = array(
'server_id' => '1',
'system_user' => "web10",
'system_group' => 'client0',
'active' => 'y',
'type' => 'mysql',
'database_name' => $NAME,
'database_user' => $NAME,
'database_password' => '123456',
'database_charset' => 'utf8',
'remote_access' => 'n',
);
Next we have to create on the ISPConfig panel a "remote user" that allow to comunicate using the webservice.
$soap_username = 'whatever';
$soap_password = 'h4ck3m3';
$soap_location = 'http://localhost:8080/remote/index.php';
$soap_uri = 'http://localhost:8080/remote/';
$client = new SoapClient(null, array('location' => $soap_location, 'uri' => $soap_uri));
So, what's next?
Next we call the webserver function like this:
try
{
//* Login to the remote server
if( $session_id = $client->login($soap_username,$soap_password))
{
echo 'Logged into remote server sucessfully. The SessionID is '.$session_id. "\n";
$client->sites_database_add($session_id, $client_id, $params_db);
//* Logout
if($client->logout($session_id))
{
echo "DB Created\n";
}
}
}
catch (SoapFault $e)
{
die('SOAP Error: '.$e->getMessage());
}
