Hello!
Just trying to setup a form to add a new contact to my email list, but I can't seem to figure out how to set the id in the ContactList elmenent.
My code so far:
<?php
include('ccwrapper.php');
$_POST['formdata'] = "ri650@gmail.com";
//set up Contacts collection to add new contact
$collection = new ContactsCollection();
//create a ListsCollection to grab the proper list to put the contact into
$lists = new ListsCollection();
//create a listObj to interact with individual lists
$listObj = new ListObj();
//get all the mailing lists
$total = $lists->getLists();
/*need to cycle through all the lists, if we find the right mailing list, extract the id.
foreach($total[0] as $key=>$row){
if($row->getName() == "General Interest"){
$id = $row->getId();
}
}
/*-------------
Get the value sent by the form.We're gonna assume JS validation is fine
---------------*/
$formdata = $_POST['formdata'];
//put into array
$formParams = array('email_address'=>$formdata,'id'=>$id);
//create a contact object$person = new Contact($formParams);
$person->setLists($id);
//add contact. Return code is used to check if request was successful or not
$return_code = $collection->createContact($person);
echo $return_code;if($return_code == 400){//spit out error messageecho "400";}else{//spit out successecho "true";}
anyone have some example code to share?
Hey Claus,
You can set the id manually and pass it through as an array. Below would be a short example of how to do this.
<?php include('ctctWrapper.php'); $contactInfo['email_address'] = "test@test.com"; $contactInfo['lists'][] = "http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/{username}/lists/1"; $contact = new Contact($contactInfo); $contactCollect = new ContactsCollection(); $addContact = $contactCollect->createContact($contact); print_r($addContact); // this will also return a 201 or a 400 depending if it was sucessful or if it failed. ?>
Please let me know if you need anymore help
