curl --insecure -d "delete=DNS_RECORD_INDEX" -d "domain=DOMAIN" -u "root:PASSWORD" -X POST "https://SERVER_IP or HOSTNAME:2005/index.php?api=json&act=advancedns"

<?php
$user = 'root';
$pass = 'PASSWORD';
 
$host = 'SERVER_IP or ADDRESS'; 

$url = 'https://'.rawurlencode($user).':'.rawurlencode($pass).'@'.$host.':2005/index.php?api=json&act=advancedns';

$post = array('delete' => 'DNS_INDEX_RECORD', // If you want to delete multiple records then just pass comma seperated dns record index for example 'delete' => '11,12,13' 
			'domain'=>'DOMAIN',	
);

// Set the curl parameters 
$ch = curl_init(); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 

if(!empty($post)){
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($post));
}
// Get response from the server. 
$resp = curl_exec($ch);
// print_r($resp);

// The response will hold a string as per the API response method. In this case its PHP Serialize
$res = json_decode($resp, true);

// // Done ?
if(!empty($res['done'])){
    print_r($res['done']['msg']);
}else{
