**Your software**
My Mautic version is: 3.3.2
My PHP version is: 7.3.28
**Your problem**
My problem is: I want to create a new contact from a PHP-file on another server than Mautic is installed on. I tried (but I’m open to any solution):
- **PHP Curl Class** (based on [https://stackoverflow.com/a/60797655/4024828](https://stackoverflow.com/a/60797655/4024828) )
- **Mautic’s API-Library** : [GitHub - mautic/api-library: Mautic API Library](https://github.com/mautic/api-library)
but I can’t get them to work. I don’t have too much idea about this stuff. For example the problem is probably that I don’t know how to use the “_include **DIR**. '/vendor/autoload.php_’;” in my PHP-file, as Mautic is on another server as said.
Could somebody please help me how to create a new contact from another server via PHP?

Yes, it is more simple then you think.
This is your data:
```
$email = 'captain_enterprise-d@starfleet.com';
$firstname = 'Jean-Luc';
$lastname = 'Pickard';
$tag = 'purchased';
```
This is our curl call:
```
$curl = curl_init();
// Set some options - we are passing in a user agent too here
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
CURLOPT_URL => "https://".$loginname.":".$password."@".$siteurl."/api/contacts/new",
CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'Mautic Connector',
CURLOPT_POST => 1,
// posting the payload
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array(
'firstname' => $firstname,
'lastname' => $lastname,
'email' => $email,
'tags' => $tag
)
));
curl_exec($curl);
```

Fantastic, thank you soo much! It worked perfectly!
Btw, 2 notes you might want to add on your website to this article (as I had trouble figuring these out):
- **"_Enable HTTP basic auth?_"** must be turned on in Mautic
- It doesn’t work if the **password** has special characters like a “.” or a “@” (I had both of these in my pass).
Again, thank you very much for your help!
