Error Code=214 when using update_existing=true

[Noah]

I have just setup list subscribe using php and MCAPI examples and all seems to be working well besides the update_existing.

if($_POST['submit']) {

require_once 'MCAPI.class.php';  

$apikey = 'mykey'; 

$listId = 'mylist'; 

$my_email = $_POST['email']; 

$merge_vars = Array('FNAME' => $_POST['first_name'], 'LNAME' => $_POST['last_name'] );  

$double_optin = false; 

$update_existing = true;

$send_welcome = false;  

$api = new MCAPI($apikey);  

$retval = $api->listSubscribe( $listId, $my_email, $merge_vars, $double_optin, $update_existing,$send_welcome); {

if ($api->errorCode){

echo "Unable to load listSubscribe()!\n";

echo "\tCode=".$api->errorCode."\n";

echo "\tMsg=".$api->errorMessage."\n";

} else {

echo "Subscribed - look for the confirmation email!\n";

}

}

}

And I receive this error:  

Unable to load listSubscribe()! Code=214 Msg=subsc...@email.com is already subscribed to list MyList. Click here to update your profile.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Hey Noah,

Taking a look at that particular listSubscribe call it appears the email_type parameter is missing. This will come after merge_vars and before double_optin when using the wrappers. 

Here's an example

$my_email = 'te...@testing.com'; 

$merge_vars = Array('FNAME' => 'Test', 'LNAME' => 'Name' );  

$double_optin = false; 

$update_existing = true;

$send_welcome = false;

$email_type = 'html';

$api = new MCAPI($apikey);  

$retval = $api->listSubscribe( $listId, $my_email, $merge_vars, $email_type, $double_optin, $update_existing,$send_welcome);

That did it!

Thanks for that.  I didn't realize that I needed to add email_type.
