Adding contact to dotmailer address book using API

Question

I'm having a real headache adding a contact to to dotmailer using nusoap. I'm using the AddContactToAddressBook method,but I can't get it to work. The if statement returns success, but echo "<pre>" . print_r($result, true) . "</pre>"; returns nothingand when I check dotmailer there's no new contact there. I've spent weeks trying to get this to work without any success and am at a loss now as to where the problem is!

<?php
$email='[email protected]';
function subscribe($email, &$result)
{
    $wsdlPath = "https://apiconnector.com/v2/api.svc?wsdl";

    $client=new soapclient( $wsdlPath,'wsdl' );
    $client->setCredentials("[email protected]","xxxxxx");
    $error = $client->getError();
    $result = $client->call('AddContactToAddressBook',array('addressBookId'=>xxxxxx,'email'=>'[email protected]'));

    if($client->fault) {
        $rv = false;
    } else {
        // Check for errors
        if($error) {
            $rv = false;
        } else {
            $rv = true;
        }
    }
    return $rv;
}
          echo "<pre>" . print_r($result, true) . "</pre>";

if(subscribe("[email protected]", $result)) {
    echo "success<br />";
    print_r($result);
} else {
    echo "failed<br />";
}
?>

I put the custom fields in another array and that now works. This is what I've now got:

<?php

/** POST EMAIL FIRST AND GET CONTACT FROM DOTMAILER */
$postContactUrl = 'https://apiconnector.com/v2/contacts/';
$data = array(
    'Email' => '[email protected]', //email to post
    'EmailType' => 'Html', //other option is PlainText
    'dataFields' => array(
    array(
    'Key' => 'CITY',
    'Value' => $_POST['address2']),
    array(
    'Key' => 'COUNTRY',
    'Value' => $country_name),
    array(
    'Key' => 'FIRSTNAME',
    'Value' => $_POST['name_first']),
    array(
    'Key' => 'FULLNAME',
    'Value' => $_POST['name_first']." ".$_POST['name_last'] ),
    array(
    'Key' => 'LASTNAME',
    'Value' => $_POST['name_last']),
    array(
    'Key' => 'POSTCODE',
    'Value' => $_POST['postcode']),
    array(
    'Key' => 'STREET',
    'Value' => $_POST['address1']),
    array(
    'Key' => 'TOWN',
    'Value' => $_POST['address3']),
    )
);
//post email and response will be contact object from dotmailer
$contact = execute_post($postContactUrl, $data);

/** ADD CONTACT TO ADDRESS BOOK */
$addContactToAddressBookUrl = 'https://apiconnector.com/v2/address-books/' . 'address-book-id' . '/contacts'; //add your address book id
//post contact to address book and response will be address book object from dotmailer
$book =  execute_post($addContactToAddressBookUrl, $contact);

/**
 * if you want to check if there was an error you can
 * check it by calling this on response. 
 * example $book->message
 */

 echo "<pre>" . print_r($data, true) . "</pre>";
// echo "<pre>" . print_r($contact, true) . "</pre>";
// echo "<pre>" . print_r($book, true) . "</pre>";

//Function to initiate curl, set curl options, execute and return the response
function execute_post($url, $data){
    //encode the data as json string
    $requestBody = json_encode($data);

    //initialise curl session
    $ch = curl_init();

    //curl options
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLAUTH_BASIC, CURLAUTH_DIGEST);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'user-name' . ':' . 'password'); // credentials
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $requestBody);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array ('Accept: ' . 'application/json' ,'Content-Type: application/json'));

    //curl execute and json decode the response
    $responseBody = json_decode(curl_exec($ch));

    //close curl session
    curl_close($ch);

    return $responseBody;
}
?>
