Your best bet is probably to create a small shell script that counts these addresses and then call script that from PHP The shell script might look something like this: find ~/mail | grep '@' | wc -l And the php might look like this: $cmd = '/path/to/your/script.sh'; $output = array(); exec($cmd, $output); $mail_accounts = reset($output); Unfortunately cPanel doesn’t seem to provide much in the way of an api for programmers, or at least not for PHP.

The shell script might look something like this:
find ~/mail | grep ‘@’ | wc -l

And the php might look like this:

$cmd = ‘/path/to/your/script.sh’;
$output = array();
exec($cmd, $output);
$mail_accounts = reset($output);
