PHP Plugin on Form Content Plugin (Ajax plugins)

[amilks]

Hello Guys,

It's been a while, but I am enjoying the new Fabrik very much. I am currently rebuilding a 2.0 Fabrik app in 3.0 and so far it has gone really well. However I hit a snag. I need a few forms to submit the info to Mailchimp. I had actually written a script to do just that and it works. I also noticed that you have a Mailchimp plugin. I tried both. Here are the issues:

The official Fabrik Mailchimp plugin:

On the Module form with no ajax I get a white page. Seems like some form of PHP error. On the ajax form I get a notice in the console about a json error.

So I moved back to my script:

On the module form with no ajax It works correctly. I am signed up and then redirected.

On the Ajax form I get this error at the top of the form: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character

And at this point I am posting here. I don't really have a preference between my script or the plugin, I just need one to work. Here is my script:

<?php 
$email = $_POST['jos_fbk_apply___email'];
$who = $_POST['jos_fbk_apply___information_for']; 
$what = $_POST['jos_fbk_apply___interest']; 
$first_name = $_POST['jos_fbk_apply___first_name']; 
$last_name = $_POST['jos_fbk_apply___last_name']; 
$dob = $_POST['jos_fbk_apply___dob']; 
$home_value = $_POST['jos_fbk_apply___home_value']; 
$mortgage = $_POST['jos_fbk_apply___mortgage'];  
$co_first = $_POST['jos_fbk_apply___first_name_co']; 
$co_last = $_POST['jos_fbk_apply___last_name_co']; 
$co_dob = $_POST['jos_fbk_apply___dob_co']; 
$address = $_POST['jos_fbk_apply___address']; 
$city = $_POST['jos_fbk_apply___city']; 
$state = $_POST['jos_fbk_apply___state']; 
$zip = $_POST['jos_fbk_apply___zip']; 
$phone = $_POST['jos_fbk_apply___phone']; 
$newsletter = $_POST['jos_fbk_apply___newsletter_raw']; 


if($newsletter[0] == 'yes'){ 
    if(!$email)
        { 
        return "No email address provided"; 
        }     
    if(!preg_match("/^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*$/i", $email)) 
        {        
        return "Email address is invalid";     
        }            
    require_once('lib/MCAPI.class.php'); /*('/hermes/web10/b2767/pow.biimls/htdocs/mlsreversemortgage/lib/MCAPI.class.php');*/    
    $api = new MCAPI('6cf660c233cdb22a3d8afc462bad36e7-us2');     
    $list_id = "66c4ca406c"; 
    $mergeVars = array(                    
                            'WHO'=>$who,                                       
                        'WHAT'=>$what,                                       
                        'FNAME'=>$first_name,                                                           
                        'LNAME'=>$last_name,                                       
                        'DOB'=>$dob,                                       
                        'HOME'=>$home_value,                                       
                        'MORTGAGE'=>$mortgage,                                       
                        'COFIRST'=>$co_first,                                       
                        'COLAST'=>$co_last,                                       
                        'CODOB'=>$co_dob,                                       
                        'SADDRESS'=>$address,                                       
                        'CITY'=>$city,                                       
                        'STATE'=>$state,                                       
                        'ZIP'=>$zip,                                       
                        'PHONE'=>$phone     
                        );     
    if($api->listSubscribe($list_id, $email, $mergeVars) === true) 
        { 
        echo 'Success! Check your email to confirm sign up.'; 
    }
    else
        { 
        echo 'Error: ' . $api->errorMessage;    
    } 
} 
?>

I then need it to redirect to a thank you page. This works on the module form and I am assuming once the php plugin works on the ajax it will redirect just like the module without ajax.

Thanks guys!!!!

Update and new question

So right after I posted I noticed something:

near the bottom of the script I had this:

if($api->listSubscribe($list_id, $email, $mergeVars) === true) 
        { 
        echo 'Success! Check your email to confirm sign up.'; 
    }
    else
        { 
        echo 'Error: ' . $api->errorMessage;    
    }

This will basically not do anything if you process the PHP script outside ajax, and if you put an exit right after this conditional statement it will show the echo. However it did not effect the script when the exit was not in place. So I left it for later testing. However this breaks the Ajax! When I remove this and replace it with this and it works:

$api->listSubscribe($list_id, $email, $mergeVars);

However the one thing I don't like is that I cannot get the error to show up. Is there a way I can inject an error into the form like a normal Fabrik error if it fails? I'm sure there is but I don't have any idea how to do it.

Hope this helps someone, sometime!
