I'm very new to almost everything I have done below so bare with me.. :) What I'm trying to do is add a confirmed user account to an Interspire Email Marketer list upon successful+confirmed registrations.
1) The code works 60% of the time.
2) I have no idea why.
Any help with reliability/code or anything would be greatly appriciated. I'm very new to this stuff.
I'm triggering the XML post (ala: http://idn.interspire.com/articles/27/1/Interspire-Email-Marketer-XML-API-Documentation/Page1.html#request ) to add new users after they successfully subscribe.
Plugin hook: registration_activate_process
And here is the plugin code i'm using (with some stuff hidden..)
$username = $vbulletin->userinfo[username];
$email= $vbulletin->userinfo[email];
$userid= $vbulletin->userinfo[userid];
$xml = "<xmlrequest>
<username>hidden</username>
<usertoken>hidden</usertoken>
<requesttype>subscribers</requesttype>
<requestmethod>AddSubscriberToList</requestmethod>
<details>
<emailaddress>$email</emailaddress>
<mailinglist>1</mailinglist>
<format>html</format>
<confirmed>yes</confirmed>
<customfields>
<item>
<fieldid>1</fieldid>
<value>$username</value>
</item>
<item>
<fieldid>2</fieldid>
<value>$userid</value>
</item>
</customfields>
</details>
</xmlrequest>
";
$ch = curl_init('http://www.hidden.com/email/xml.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml);
$result = @curl_exec($ch);
if($result === false) {
echo "Error performing request";
}
else {
$xml_doc = simplexml_load_string($result);
//echo 'Status is ', $xml_doc->status, '<br/>';
if ($xml_doc->status == 'SUCCESS') {
//echo 'Data is ', $xml_doc->data, '<br/>';
} else {
//echo 'Error is ', $xml_doc->errormessage, '<br/>';
}
}
So far it works 60% of the time. All of my tests succeeded in the successful addition of the user into my interspire email marketer list so I know it works, I guess I just want to know if there is something I can do to improve the reliability of the script.
