The code you provided looks like it doing a PUT not a POST. Here is an example of a POST
$session = curl_init($request);
$userNamePassword = CC_APIKEY."%".CC_USERNAME.":".CC_PASSWORD;
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_DIGEST);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_USERPWD, userNamePassword);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION ,1);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS , $temper);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type:application/atom+xml"));
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); // Do not return headers
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$response = curl_exec($session);
$httpcode = curl_getinfo($session, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($session);

I have been working on taking the PHP example and adding more features to it, but it not done yet. I will show you what I have now and maybe you can get it to work for you.

I would first double check that your account and make sure that your third list has a ID number 3.
You can use the Contact list Collection and the RestClient to retrieve the collection of contact lists and their ID numbers.

What version of PHP are you using? The Example code requires PHP 5
Do you have the php extension php_curl enable in your php.ini file?
Do you see any errors in you Apache Error logs?

I made some changes to the PHP example for my own website that allows new contacts to join multiple lists. Please feel free to take this code and improve on it. If you are able to make this code better I only ask that you post your own changes so that every one can benefit.

The PHP example you are using does not check if a contact is already in your account and it also does not update contacts. It only adds new contacts to your account. Once a contact is in your account you no longer can do a HTTP POST request to update the contact. You will need to do HTTP PUT request to update the contact.
You would have to add the following logic to the PHP Example.
First check to see if the contact is already on your list by querying the contacts collection
http://developer.constantcontact.com/doc/contactsCollection#Querying
If the contact exists then you would have to do HTTP Put command to update the contact.
http://developer.constantcontact.com/samples/putSubscriber
Else you would do a HTTP Post command which the example you are using is doing.

I did double check your code and it worked for me so I am thinking there a problem with your list ID. Did you make any changes to your lists in your account on the 26th? Did you delete your list and add a new list? Please check your account and make sure you still have a list 1. You can use HTTP GET to the Contact Lists Collection to find out if you still have a list 1. http://developer.constantcontact.com/doc/contactLists

I made the following changes to your code and it worked for me.
I am using PHP 5.2.8 What version are you using?
Can you send us your code for your form so I can test the whole package?
<?php
$_POST = "TEST@email.com"; // Add this since I don't have form
# Add this person to their Constant Contact list(s)
$UN = "Username";
$PW = "Password";
$Key = "KEY";
$date = date("Y-m-d\TH:i:s");
$entry = <<<END

I believe the problem with your code is with line 18 in AddContact.php
@define('CC_USERNAME','{API-KEY}%{USERNAME}'); //Modified here
Should not be adding API-KEY in here it should be
@define('CC_USERNAME','{USERNAME}'); //Modified here

I ran the script that I believe you are using that I found here using php 4.3.11 and it did not work
I then switched to PHP version 5.2.6 and the code works.
The following line of code requires PHP 5
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_DIGEST);
I was able to add a contact using PHP Example for SiteVistorAPI which you can find here
While there is no reason that the APIs themselves won't work from PHP v4, we do not have a PHP v4 compatible sample at this time.

I believe you are using the code found here
http://developer.constantcontact.com/node/132
This code adds your contact two lists.
Remove this from the code as you don't have a second list
. '<ContactList id="http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/' . $UN . '/lists/2" />' // Be sure to get the correct list number(s) for your list(s)

I think the misunderstanding with Constants.php file. Let say my api_Key = 123345abc and let take a look at one line of code in Constants.php file.
define("PARAM_NAME_API_KEY", "api_key");
After this line of code
PARAM_NAME_API_KEY = "api_key"
Not "123345abc"
$_REQUEST is the same as $_REQUEST
if you echo PARAM_NAME_API_KEY you will get api_key
if you echo $_REQUEST you will get 123345abc
if you also echo $_REQUEST you will get 123345abc

I was unable to recreate your issue. My understanding of the code is as following.
PARAM_NAME_API_KEY, PARAM_NAME_USER_NAME, and PARAM_NAME_PASSWORD is define as a Constant String in Constants.php
The Value of PARAM_NAME_API_KEY equals to "api_key"
The Value of PARAM_NAME_USER_NAME equals to "site_owner_user_name"
The Value of PARAM_NAME_PASSWORD equals to "sopassword'
This means that this code in GetList.php
$xml = executeRequest(URI . '/ws/customers/' . $_REQUEST . '/lists');
would give you the same results as this code
$xml = executeRequest(URI . '/ws/customers/' . $_REQUEST . '/lists');
Also this code in Functions.php,
$userNamePassword = $_REQUEST . '%' . $_REQUEST . ':' . $_REQUEST;
would give you the same results as this code
$userNamePassword = $_REQUEST . '%' . $_REQUEST . ':' . $_REQUEST;
This should not have worked for you in Function.php
$userNamePassword = PARAM_NAME_API_KEY . '%' . PARAM_NAME_USER_NAME . ':' . PARAM_NAME_PASSWORD;
If you echo $userNamePassword after using the above you would get this string
"api_key%site_owner_user_name:sopassword"
It would not echo your actual API Key, Username or Password, but rather the names of the variables you are using

Your new code works for me. It also works for scott_gb. Please refer to http://developer.constantcontact.com/node/123 Are you still trying to add 'test2@iofast.com'? I have look up what I believe is your constant contact acount and I see that test2@iofast.com is already a contact on your account. Did you fix your issue? Are you still getting error code 401 or are you getting error 409? If you are getting error code 409 then try to add another email address. If you are still getting error code 401 then I will need to know what credentials you are using. If you can email your username (not your password) to our webservices support team that will be helpful.

Your code seems to work when I used it for my account. I first tried to add a contact to list 1 in my account and I notice I got 401 errors. I also got a 404 error when I was trying to get list 1. This is because I don’t have a list 1 in my account I deleted it. Did you get an error on when you tried to get list 1? Can you try to add the contact to another list?
$contacts = new constant_contact("username", "password", "APIKey");
$contacts->debug_on();
$contacts->get_service_doc_xml(); //Response Code '200'
$contacts->get_contacts_xml(); // Response Code '200'
$contacts->get_contacts_xml('/16'); //Response Code '200'
$contacts->get_lists_xml(); // Response Code '200'
$contacts->get_lists_xml('/1'); //Response Code '404'
$contacts->get_campaigns_xml(); //Response Code '200'
$contacts->get_activities_xml(); // HTTP Response Code '200'
$contacts->add_contact('Joe', 'Blow', 'fakeemail@roving.com', '1'); // HTTP Response Code '401'
I then change list 1 to list 7 and got the following results.
$contacts->debug_on();
$contacts->get_service_doc_xml(); //Response Code '200'
$contacts->get_contacts_xml(); // Response Code '200'
$contacts->get_contacts_xml('/16'); //Response Code '200'
$contacts->get_lists_xml(); // Response Code '200'
$contacts->get_lists_xml('/7'); //Response Code '200'
$contacts->get_campaigns_xml(); //Response Code '200'
$contacts->get_activities_xml(); // Response Code '200'
$contacts->add_contact('Joe', 'Blow', 'fakeemail@roving.com', '7'); //HTTP Response Code '201'
