EXAMPLE CODE: PHP page POSTing to Centerbase using cURL

This is an example of PHP server-side code POSTs the web form data to Centerbase using cURL.

<?php
    $error = null;
    
    try {
        // Initialize a cURL request
        $ch = curl_init();
        
        // Add the Centerbase Form ID and Private Key to the POST data that came from the form
        $postdata = $_POST;  // We add everything that was posted to the PHP page
        $postdata["CbFormId"] = "";  // SPECIFY THE ID OF THE FORM HERE
        $postdata["CbPrivateKey"] = "";  // SPECIFY THE PRIVATE KEY HERE
        
        // Uncomment this and add your e-mail address in order to test your code
        // If Centerbase receives the form data successfully, it will send you an e-mail showing the data it was sent instead of adding records to Centerbase
        //$postdata["TestEmail"] = "myemail@fakemail.com";

        // Setup the cURL configuration
        $curlConfig = array(
            // The URL to POST to
            CURLOPT_URL            => "https://test.centerbase.com/web/webform"  // // Note: replace test.centerbase.com with your Centerbase site URL (such as MyLawFirm.centerbase.com)
            
            // Tells it to make a POST request
            ,CURLOPT_POST           => true
            
            // Tells it to return the results, not just output them
            ,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true
            
            // Specifies the fields to POST.  
            ,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS     => $postdata
        
            // Specifies that we don't want cURL to verify the peer, which allows us to transmit over SSL
            ,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER    => false
        );
        
        // Set the options and execute the request
        curl_setopt_array($ch, $curlConfig);
        $jsonresult = curl_exec($ch);
            
        if (curl_errno($ch) > 0) {
            // If there was a cURL error, get the error string
            $error = curl_strerror(curl_errno($ch));
        }
        else {
            // Decode the JSON result
            $result = json_decode($jsonresult);

            // If Centerbase said it was successful, we are good to go
            if ($result->success) {
                echo 'It Worked!';  // PUT ANY CODE HERE THAT YOU WANT RUN IF THERE WERE NO ERRORS
            }
            else {
                // Otherwise, get the error Centerbase returned
                $error = $result->error;    
            }
        }

        // Close the cURL connection
        curl_close($ch);
        
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        // Catch the exception and note the error
        $error = $e->getMessage();
    }
    
        
    // If there was an error, show it now
    if (!is_null($error)) {
        echo $error;  // PUT ANY CODE HERE THAT YOU WANT RUN IF THERE WAS AN ERROR
    }
