I have this code below that adds a user to a pre-existing list in Mailchimp.
$apikey = '<api_key>';
$auth = base64_encode( 'user:'.$apikey );
$data = array(
'apikey' => $apikey,
'email_address' => $email,
'status' => 'subscribed',
'merge_fields' => array(
'FNAME' => $name
)
);
$json_data = json_encode($data);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://us2.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/lists/<list_id>/members/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json',
'Authorization: Basic '.$auth));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'PHP-MCAPI/2.0');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json_data);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
var_dump($result);
die('Mailchimp executed');
This code only adds users to the list and when I try add the details of the same user twice it throws the following error on the second attempt:
test@user.com is already a list member. Use PATCH to update existing members.
How do I go about using PATCH to update user details? I'm not sure where to specify it.
I figured out where I'm going wrong. When the user is initially added to the list the response provides an ID. I need to store the ID in my database with those person's details and reference the ID in the url I'm making a call to when I want to update the user's details in the Mailchimp List.

Thanks @TooMuchPete for the correct curl command.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PATCH");
You're looking for the CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST
option in cURL .
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PATCH");
But, since this is now your second question in as many days asking how to use built-in cURL library, it might be worth using something a little better. If you're on PHP 5.4 or better, I recommend Guzzle . PHP Requests is also very good, though, and works with PHP 5.3.
Try this one. It's working for me. I am using this function. Hope it should be solved your problem.
