You can use your original code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php print_r($_SESSION[&#39;form_data&#39;]); ?&gt;</code></pre> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/php-help-needed-to-integrate-form-with-campaign-monitor-api#post-11727 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 00:13:16 +0000 blogjunkie 11727@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi Yuniar, now my form embed code is like this:</p> <pre> &lt;?php session_start(); require("/path/to/machform/machform.php"); $mf_param['form_id'] = 1; $mf_param['base_path'] = 'http://example.com/machform/'; display_machform($mf_param); ?&gt; &lt;?php print_r($table_data); ?&gt; </pre> <p>This is what I'm getting now:</p> <pre> Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /path/to/form.php:10) in /path/to/form.php on line 11 </pre> <p>Btw I enabled the review page feature. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/php-help-needed-to-integrate-form-with-campaign-monitor-api#post-11726 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 20:10:05 +0000 yuniar 11726@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>1) On the page where you embed the form, line 1, insert the following code:</p> <pre><code>session_start();</code></pre> <p>that should start the session on that page and prevent the session expired error.</p> <p>2) The "$table_data" is the array. You can dump this array to see all the indexes.<br /> You can use this simple code:</p> <pre><code>print_r($table_data);</code></pre> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/php-help-needed-to-integrate-form-with-campaign-monitor-api#post-11720 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 08:44:52 +0000 blogjunkie 11720@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I'm trying to add names, email addresses and a country drop down field to Campaign Monitor via their <a href="http://campaignmonitor.com/api">API</a>. I followed instructions from the forums and here is what I have done so far.</p> <p>First, inside post-functions.php, under <code>$process_result[&#39;status&#39;] = true;</code> on line 1215 I added <code>include &#39;custom.php&#39;;</code>. This is the contents of custom.php:</p> <pre> define('MACHFORM_DIR', '/path/to/machform'); // include CM subscriber api class require_once (MACHFORM_DIR . '/lib/createsend-php/csrest_subscribers.php'); if ($form_id == 1) { $wrap = new CS_REST_Subscribers('MYAPIKEY', 'MYLISTID'); $result = $wrap-&gt;add(array( 'EmailAddress' =&gt; $table_data['element_2'], 'Name' =&gt; $table_data['element_3'], 'CustomFields' =&gt; array( array( 'Key' =&gt; 'Country', 'Value' =&gt; '$table_data[\'element_15\']', // NEED TO FIGURE OUT THE INDEX FOR THIS 'Key' =&gt; 'DateofBirth', 'Value' =&gt; '$table_data[\'element_4\']' ) ), 'Resubscribe' =&gt; true )); } </pre> <p>A little lower in my post-functions.php under <code>$process_result[&#39;status&#39;] = true;</code>, I added this code:</p> <pre> $_SESSION['form_data'] = $table_data; </pre> <p>Next on the PHP page that I display the form, I have this:</p> <pre> &lt;?php session_start(); require("/path/to/machform/machform.php"); $mf_param['form_id'] = 1; $mf_param['base_path'] = 'http://www.example.com/machform/'; display_machform($mf_param); ?&gt; &lt;?php print_r($_SESSION['form_data']); ?&gt; </pre> <p>The problem that I'm facing:</p> <p>1. When I submit the form, I get a message saying "Your session has been expired. Please start again." and the data is not saved to Machform</p> <p>2. I want to see the form_data array so I can figure out the values for Country and DateofBirth to send to Campaign Monitor.</p> <p>I think it must be something simple but I just can't find it. Please help, thanks </p>
