Campaign Monitor API Using PHP and SOAP

Published: 2009-11-17

Campaign Monitor has a fairly comprehensive API and support docs.  Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be many PHP code snippets out there for people to learn from.  This rather quick example should help you understand the basics of a SOAP call to the API.  It's a case of trawling through the WSDL and docs to get the correct method calls and parameters to pass along.

$client = new SoapClient("http://api.createsend.com/api/api.asmx?wsdl",
                          array('trace'=>true,'exceptions'=>true));

$param['ApiKey'] = "API_KEY";
$param['ListID'] = "LIST_ID";
$param['Email'] = "email@email.com";

try{
  $response = $client->AddSubscriberWithCustomFields($param);
}
catch(Exception $e){
  echo 'Caught exception: ',  $e->getMessage();
}

var_dump($response);
