Question

I’m having issues adding a subscriber to a specific addressbook in dotmailer using nusoap. I’ve no problem adding a generic subscriber to all contacts using the CreateContact method however when I try and use the AddContactToAddressbook method, I just doesn’t work.
The if statement used at the bottom returns successful, however nothing exists in the $result variable.

<?php
function subscribe($email, &$result)
{
    global $postURL, $username, $password;

    $addressBookId = "######";
    $contact = array("Email" => $email, "EmailType" => "Html");
    $params = array("username" => $username, "password" => $password, "contact" => $contact, "addressbookId" => $addressBookId);

    $client = new soapclient($postURL, true);
    $error = $client->getError();
    $result = $client->call('AddContactToAddressbook', $params);

    if($client->fault) {
        $rv = false;
    } else {
        // Check for errors
        if($error) {
            $rv = false;
        } else {
            $rv = true;
        }
    }
    return $rv;
}

if(subscribe("[e-mail]", $result)) {
    echo "success<br />";
    print_r($result);
} else {
    echo "failed<br />";
}
?>

This code works as is with only changing

$result = $client->call('AddContactToAddressbook', $params);
to

$result = $client->call('CreateContact', $params);

But then the subscriber is not in any particular list. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong.

p.s. the $addressBookId variable has been blanked out intentionally, I didn’t try to run it with ‘######’ as the value in case you were wondering.
And once in production the $result variable will not be returned with the function.

Thanks
