Ask GPT in a long handed way and it should come up with something surely? Just asked it a question and response below
replacing the smileys below of course with
Login and Logout System: This will allow you to authenticate to the Nominet EPP server.
Domain Management Features: You need the ability to:
Create domains.
List domains associated with a tag.
Bulk change nameservers for multiple domains.
Use EPP Commands: These will be the core functionality for interacting with Nominet's EPP system.
Requirements
PHP version: PHP 7 or later.
Libraries: OpenSSL for handling secure connections with the EPP server.
Session Management: For login and logout functionality.
Here's a PHP script to help get started.
1. Configuration
Create a config.php file for managing Nominet EPP settings, such as the host, port, and login credentials.
php
Copy code
<?php
// config.php
return [
'epp_host' => 'ssl://epp.nominet.org.uk', // Replace with the correct EPP host
'epp_port' => 700, // EPP default port
'epp_username' => 'YOUR_EPP_USERNAME',
'epp_password' => 'YOUR_EPP_PASSWORD',
];
2. Login and Logout
To connect to the Nominet EPP system, we will use the EPP login/logout commands. Start with a simple login form.
php
Copy code
<?php
// index.php
session_start();
$config = require 'config.php';
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') {
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
if ($username === $config['epp_username'] && $password === $config['epp_password']) {
$_SESSION['logged_in'] = true;
header('Location: dashboard.php');
exit;
} else {
echo "Invalid login credentials!";
}
}
if (isset($_GET['logout'])) {
session_destroy();
header('Location: index.php');
exit;
}
?>

3. Dashboard: Listing Domains, Creating Domains, Changing Nameservers
Once logged in, redirect to a dashboard where you can issue EPP commands.
php
Copy code
<?php
// dashboard.php
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['logged_in']) || !$_SESSION['logged_in']) {
header('Location: index.php');
exit;
}
$config = require 'config.php';
function eppConnect($config) {
$fp = fsockopen($config['epp_host'], $config['epp_port'], $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
echo "Error connecting to EPP: $errstr ($errno)";
exit;
}
// Read server greeting
$greeting = fread($fp, 8192);
return $fp;
}
function eppLogin($fp, $config) {

Key Functions:
eppConnect: Opens a connection to the EPP server.
eppLogin: Logs in to the EPP server.
eppLogout: Logs out from the EPP server.
Use POST forms to trigger domain listing, creation, and nameserver changes.
Notes:
Error Handling: For simplicity, there is minimal error handling. Consider adding robust validation and error handling for production.
SSL Certificate: Ensure the EPP server you're connecting to has the right SSL configuration (openssl support is required).
Security: Use HTTPS and protect the PHP session properly in a production environment.
Nominet-specific Details: Update EPP host, port, registrant, and contact IDs to match your Nominet account details.
