$listId = ‘xxxxx’; // your mailchimp LIST ID here
$double_optin=false;
$send_welcome=false;
$email_type = ‘html’;
$email = $_POST[’email’];
//replace us2 with your actual datacenter
$submit_url = “http://us10.api.mailchimp.com/1.3/?method=listSubscribe”;
$data = array(
’email_address’=>$email,
‘apikey’=>$apiKey,
‘id’ => $listId,
‘double_optin’ => $double_optin,
‘send_welcome’ => $send_welcome,

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $submit_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, urlencode($payload));$result = curl_exec($ch);
