The phplist-dual-registration plugin also takes input from registration. It has this function:

function subscribe($input_data) {

if (!wpphplist_check_curl()) {

echo 'CURL library not detected on system.  Need to compile php with cURL in order to use this plug-in';

return(0);

}

// $post_data = array();

foreach ($input_data as $varname => $varvalue) {

$post_data[$varname] = $varvalue;

}

// Ensure email is provided

$email = $post_data[$this->email_id];

//  $tmp = $_POST['lid'];

//  if ($tmp != '') {$lid = $tmp; }	//user may override default list ID

if ($email == '') {

echo('You must supply an email address');

return(0);

}

// 3) Login to phplist as admin and save cookie using CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE

// NOTE: Must log in as admin in order to bypass email confirmation

$url = $this->domain . "admin/";

$ch=curl_init();

if (curl_errno($ch)) {

print '<h3 style="color:red">Init Error: ' . curl_error($ch) .' Errno: '. curl_errno($ch) . "</h3>";

return(0);

}



$post_data='action=subscribe&group_ids[]'.$this->lid.'&email_address='.$this->email_id.'&firstname='.$this->name_id;

Is the $post_data line what I need? Something like this?:

function subscribe($input_data) {



// $post_data = array();

foreach ($input_data as $varname => $varvalue) {

$post_data[$varname] = $varvalue;

}



$email = $post_data[$this->email_id];

$name = $post_data[$this->name_id];

}

And then I could use $email and $name in my function to “do stuff” with?

Or can I use $post_data[$this->email_id] etc. directly? Is that the simple answer to my original question?

Why is the $post_data commented out?! Don’t I need it?

Do I need other pieces to make it work? For which fields would this work; only those from wp_users or xprofile as well? What about custom fields, including the real name/first name/last name mess?
