php Wrapper and removed customers

[ErinR85]

I am updating some contact info using phpWrapper, but I don't want to update the info for contacts that are "removed", yet I can't find a way to distinguish between active contacts and removed contacts in listContactDetails().

Hey Erin,

I looked into your issue and actually revised the wrapper a little bit in order to get this to work the way I believe you need it to.

Please open the ctctWrapper.php file and goto line 1234 and modify it so it looks like this:

$utility = new Utility();
			if ($params['status'] == 'Do Not Mail')
			{
				$utility->setActionBy('ACTION_BY_CONTACT');
				$this->setStatus($params['status']);
			}
			else
			{
				$this->setStatus($params['status']);
			}

 This will allow you to now use the getStatus method located under the contact class.  Here is an example of how this would work

<?php
include_once('ctctwrapper.php');

// Istantiate Utility 
$ConstantContact = new Utility();

// Istantiate Contacts as part of the Contacts Collection
$Contacts = new ContactsCollection();

// Get all the contacts and put into the $Contact Variable
$Contact = $Contacts->listContacts();

// This will put the specific object data into the $OneContact Variable
$OneContact = $Contacts->listContactDetails($Contact[0][0]);

// myContact will now hold the status of the Object data of $OneContact
$myContact = $OneContact->getStatus();

// output data
print_r($myContact);

?>

 Please let me know if this helps,

thank you...can you explain why you put this in the if and the else statement?

I just did this:

$utility = new Utility();
			if ($params['status'] == 'Do Not Mail')
			{
				$utility->setActionBy('ACTION_BY_CONTACT');
			}
			$this->setStatus($params['status']);

 since I am doing the same thing no matter what, whay am I creating an else? It seems to work fine the way I did it, but I am happy to change it.

Hey Erin,

That will work fine, I put it in the statement as I was testing something out with it and that appears to work with out creating any errors in the wrapper. 

Let me know if you need any more help.
