GetResponse API showing error but working JSON

Question

I have code from GetResponse to add a contact to a campaign. The script is working because it's adding the contact to GetResponse, however, it keeps showing these 2 errors and leaving an error log on my server. Please help me fix these 2 errors if you can.

Here are the 2 errors I get....

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=1) state=0 in autoresponders/getresponse/jsonRPCClient.php on line 242

Strict Standards: Only variables should be passed by reference in autoresponders/getresponse/add.php on line 29 Contact added

Here is the code:

add.php:

Answer 1

I found the problem. The line:

$CAMPAIGN_ID = array_pop(array_keys($campaigns));

Must be broken up like this:

$CAMPAIGN_ID = array_keys($campaigns);
$CAMPAIGN_ID = array_pop($CAMPAIGN_ID);

As for the error in the Json script, I just removed the following lines and it works without error:

if (true === $pShow and !empty($debug))
        {
            // get endtime
            $endTime = array_sum(explode(' ', microtime()));
            // performance summary
            $debug .= 'Request time: ' . round($endTime - $startTime, 3) . ' s Memory usage: ' . round(memory_get_usage() / 1024) . " kb\r\n";
            echo nl2br($debug);
            // send output imidiately
            flush();
            // clean static
            $debug = $startTime = null;
        }

I don't know if that is a true fix for the Json script, it may be causing some other error, but at least it works without trowing an error message and that's what I wanted.
