How to trigger an invite in a PHP script?

[JohnA]

Thanks Justin,

I'm using a different address every time I test (random ones at my domain).

I added "--verbose 1" and added some PHP to spit out any output from the script, and got: -

array(4) { [0]=> string(9) "$VAR1 = {" [1]=> string(25) " 'errors' => {}," [2]=> string(23) " 'status' => 1" [3]=> string(10) " };" }

Does that shed any light? The list and email parameters were accepted as the subscription confirmation email was sent as normal, but again the profile fields were missing.

That's pretty weird output - I would suggest testing it outside of the php script and debugging it from there, before including it in your php script.

The copy of the script in v5 is acting strange to me - just like you, there's no fields support. Try this copy:

https://github.com/justingit/dada-mail/ ... e_email.pl

Here's what happens with me:

Code: Select all

justin-4:subscribe justin$ ./subscribe_email.pl --list j --email test@example.com --fields first_name=John --fields last_name=Doe  --verbose
email: test@example.com
list: j
fields:
*first_name: John
*last_name: Doe
*city:
*state:
*fav_color:
*_secret:

$VAR1 = {
          'errors' => {},
          'status' => 1
        };


Checking it in the MySQL database:

Code: Select all

mysql> select * from dada_subscribers where email = 'test@example.com';
+----------+------------------+------+-----------+-------------+
| email_id | email            | list | list_type | list_status |
+----------+------------------+------+-----------+-------------+
|     8642 | test@example.com | j    | sub_confirm_list      | 1           |
+----------+------------------+------+-----------+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from dada_profile_fields where email like '%test@example.com%';
+-----------+-------------------+------------+-----------+------+-------+-----------+---------+
| fields_id | email             | first_name | last_name | city | state | fav_color | _secret |
+-----------+-------------------+------------+-----------+------+-------+-----------+---------+
|      4224 | *test@example.com | John       | Doe       | NULL | NULL  | NULL      | NULL    |
+-----------+-------------------+------------+-----------+------+-------+-----------+---------+
1 rows in set (0.00 sec)


Looks good.

That version worked just fine. Straight away the output looked more complete, and sure enough the extra fields were included (even the "hidden" ones).

Many thanks for sticking with this!

One final question - how do I deal with spaces in the extra field values?

[justin]

Have you tried escaping them with a, "\"?

Code: Select all

justin-4:subscribe justin$ ./subscribe_email.pl --list j --email user2@example.com --fields first_name=John\ Jason --fields last_name=Doe  --verbose
email: user2@example.com
list: j
fields:
*first_name: John Jason
*last_name: Doe
*city:
*state:
*fav_color:
*_secret:

$VAR1 = {
          'errors' => {},
          'status' => 1
        };
justin-4:subscribe justin$

I actually tried enclosing extra fields with "", i.e: -

Code: Select all

-- fields first_name="John Jason"

and that worked :)

Thanks again for all your help!
