How can PHP be integrated with external services or software, like Majordomo, to manage email distribution lists effectively?
To integrate PHP with external services like Majordomo to manage email distribution lists effectively, you can use PHP's built-in functions to interact with Majordomo's API. By sending HTTP requests to Majordomo's endpoints, you can add, remove, or update email addresses in the distribution lists. This allows for seamless integration and automation of email list management tasks.
// Example code to add an email address to a Majordomo distribution list
$url = 'https://majordomo.example.com/api/add_email';
$data = array('list_name' => 'newsletter', 'email' => 'example@example.com');
$options = array(
'http' => array(
'header' => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",
'method' => 'POST',
'content' => http_build_query($data)
)
);
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$response = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
if ($response === false) {
// Handle error
} else {
// Handle success
}
