Mailchimp Api Webhooks

I am integrating with mailchimp APi using their wrapper class. I have configured the webhook in my mailchimp dashboard and the file which will get webhook response has this on top

 if(isset($_POST['type'])){
 $yes=$_POST['data']['email'];

 $querynewsubscrip="INSERT into newslettersubscrips SET optemail='$yes'";
 $resultnewsubscripxx=mysql_query($querynewsubscrip) or die('Query failed: ' .  mysql_error());

 }

Is this what i need to catch the response from Mailchimp? What i assume is, webhooks send me data through post, type tells me what was the action and data array has all the data. Please guide

According to you code, it looks like you would like just to subscribe a user when a appropriate MailChimp webhook is fired.

All you have to do is to check $_POST['type'] variable sent by MailChimp, if it is equal to the required status, do the stuff, example:

if( isset( $_POST['type'] ) && $_POST['type'] == 'subscribe' ) {

    $yes=$_POST['data']['email'];

    $querynewsubscrip="INSERT into newslettersubscrips SET optemail='$yes'";
    $resultnewsubscripxx=mysql_query($querynewsubscrip) or die('Query failed: ' .  
    mysql_error());

}

So, the only thing that was missing in your code is $_POST['type'] == 'subscribe' in the condition. Because if you didn't add it, all the other webhook types will be also connected to your code.

Mailchimp have a guide here: http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/webhooks/downloads/#php And some example code here: http://apidocs.mailchimp.com/webhooks/downloads/webhooks.phps

That should explain what you need to do.
