README

Created with the single purpose to communicate with the MailChimp API v3 as straight forward as possible with proper error handling.

• Uses Guzzle to make HTTP requests to the MailChimp API
• Build for the future, PSR-1, PSR-2 & PSR-7 compliant
• Very flexible, easily extend the MailChimp class and create your own business logic
• Able to set MailChimp API key on the fly

Usage

Because the simple nature of this library you can call the MailChimp API methods by the desired HTTP request method.

First of all you have to include the MailChimp class.

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use SlickLabs\MailChimp\MailChimp;
use SlickLabs\MailChimp\Exception\ResponseException;

$MailChimp = new MailChimp('MAILCHIMP-API-KEY');

For retrieving the MailChimp lists

try {
    $response = $MailChimp->get("lists");
    echo '<pre>'; print_r($response->getBody()); echo '</pre>';
} catch(ResponseException $e) {
    echo $e->getStatusCode().'<br />';
    echo $e->getTitle().'<br />';
    echo $e->getType().'<br />';
    echo $e->getDetail().'<br />';
}

Or adding a new subscriber to a list.

$args = [
    "body" => [
        "email_address" => "myemail@myemail.com",
        "status" => "pending"
    ]
];

try {
    $response = $MailChimp->post("lists/LIST-ID/members", $args);
    echo '<pre>'; print_r($response->getBody()); echo '</pre>';
} catch(ResponseException $e) {
    echo $e->getStatusCode().'<br />';
    echo $e->getTitle().'<br />';
    echo $e->getType().'<br />';
    echo $e->getDetail().'<br />';
}

Or updating an existing subscriber of a list.

use SlickLabs\MailChimp\Subscriber;

$args = [
    "body" => [
        "status" => "subscribed"
    ]
];

$subscriberHash = Subscriber::hash("myemail@myemail.com");

try {
    $response = $MailChimp->put('lists/LIST-ID/members/'.$subscriberHash, $args);
    echo '<pre>'; print_r($response->getBody()); echo '</pre>';
} catch(ResponseException $e) {
    echo $e->getStatusCode().'<br />';
    echo $e->getTitle().'<br />';
    echo $e->getType().'<br />';
    echo $e->getDetail().'<br />';
}

Or deleting a subscriber of a list.

use SlickLabs\MailChimp\Subscriber;

$subscriberHash = Subscriber::hash("myemail@email.com");
try {
    $response = $MailChimp->delete("lists/LIST-ID/members/".$subscriberHash);
    echo '<pre>'; print_r($response->getBody()); echo '</pre>';
} catch(ResponseException $e) {
    echo $e->getStatusCode().'<br />';
    echo $e->getTitle().'<br />';
    echo $e->getType().'<br />';
    echo $e->getDetail().'<br />';
}

Installation

Add MailChimp to your composer.json file. If you are not using Composer, you should be. It's an excellent way to manage dependencies in your PHP application.

{  
  "require": {
    "slicklabs/mailchimp": "dev-master"
  }
}

Then at the top of your PHP script require the autoloader:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
