Its probably due to your php version. Try with PHP 5.4.

To my knowledge, MailChimp is still using version 3 for its API. So it should still work.

Thanks Micheal, I got diverted from this in the last few days but will have another go shortly. Will let you know if I discover anything that pertains to your example.

To be honest, I have not tested this code for quite a while now. However based on your further confirmation, if you were able to call the API for different commands, then it should be working. Have you tried enabling double opt-in? Not really sure if it is related or not though.

Hi Micheal, thanks for getting back.

Sorry, it’s not actually on localhost, rather webhosting with a domain. Sorry for the badly worded question.

Mailchimp-api is partly working, as I wrote a simple api call in the subscribe.php to print out my lists using the api-key. Where it fails is when I try to do the Mailchimp->post of the “email_address” and “status”. All the post values (I’m only passing email address) seem to be there in subscribe, available.

Guess I was hoping you’d tell me the API had changed in the last few months or something. But looking at their docs it looks like this should work…

Might try it in a different server in case it’s local settings.

Hi Pierce – It is a bit difficult to provide insights as the code is currently installed on your local server. But based on the information you provided, shouldn’t the POST URL be on localhost instead of your domain?

Thanks for this. I’m testing it on a local server and getting no response from the form except a console error:
POST [mydomain]/mailchimptest/subscribe.php 500 (Internal Server Error)

Finding that a bit difficult to debug. Everything seems to be in the right place and I think I’ve put in valid API and list IDs.
Any tips?

thanks,
-Pierce

The email format validation should not relate to whether the email already exists on the mailing list or not. Do you have a preview link so me to check?

thank you
