CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hello:

I'm in the process of developing a custom registration module for my site and using CiviCRM to manage members.  In the custom module I'm making several API calls to create the CiviMember contact and add the member to the group.  The member is successfully created and added to the group, but it seems as if CiviCRM is doing a bunch of other things.  If I print_r the contact object I get the successfully created contact record then about 50 other empty contacts.  Then I get an error (below).  Any thoughts?  Ideas?  Thanks!

Andrew
