listSubscribe – v1.1

 listSubscribe(string apikey, string id, string email_address, array merge_vars, string email_type, boolean double_optin)

Subscribe the provided email to a list. By default this sends a confirmation email - you will not see new members until the link contained in it is clicked!

Section
List Related

Parameters
apikey	a valid API Key for your user account. Get by calling Get by visiting your API dashboard
id	the list id to connect to. Get by calling lists()
email_address	the email address to subscribe
merge_vars	array of merges for the email (FNAME, LNAME, etc.) (see examples below for handling "blank" arrays). Note that a merge field can only hold up to 255 characters. Also, there are 2 "special" keys: string INTERESTS Set Interest Groups by passing a field named "INTERESTS" that contains a comma delimited list of Interest Groups to add. Commas in Interest Group names should be escaped with a backslash. ie, "," => "\," array GROUPINGS Set Interest Groups by Grouping. Each element in this array should be an array containing the "groups" parameter (same restrictions as INTERESTS above) and either an "id" or "name" parameter to specify the Grouping - get from listInterestGroupings() string OPTINIP Set the Opt-in IP fields. Abusing this may cause your account to be suspended.
email_type	optional - email type preference for the email (html or text, defaults to html)
double_optin	optional - flag to control whether a double opt-in confirmation message is sent, defaults to true. Abusing this may cause your account to be suspended.

Returns
boolean	true on success, false on failure. When using MCAPI.class.php, the value can be tested and error messages pulled from the MCAPI object (see below)
