The code below yields the following output:

8580: Hugh Esco
Array
(
    [contact_id] => 8580
    [is_error] => 0
)
Array
(
    [contact_id] => 8580
    [is_error] => 0
)
Array
(
    [contact_id] => 8580
    [is_error] => 0
)
8580: Hugh Esco

and now the database still says:

Code: [Select]

mysql> select * from civicrm_phone WHERE contact_id = 8580 ;
+------+------------+------------------+------------+------------+--------------------+--------------+---------------+
| id   | contact_id | location_type_id | is_primary | is_billing | mobile_provider_id | phone        | phone_type_id |
+------+------------+------------------+------------+------------+--------------------+--------------+---------------+
| 2074 |       8580 |                2 |          1 |          0 |               NULL | 678-921-8186 |             1 |
+------+------------+------------------+------------+------------+--------------------+--------------+---------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Can anyone here please advise me how to add these phone numbers to my database using the API?

Code: [Select]

#!/usr/bin/php

<?php

require_once 'civicrm.config.php';
require_once 'CRM/Core/Config.php';
require_once 'api/v2/Contact.php';

$param = array("first_name" => 'Hugh',
             'contact_type' => 'Individual',
                'last_name' => 'Esco' );

$contacts = civicrm_contact_search( $param );

if (civicrm_error( $contacts ))
  die ("Unable to find contact Hugh.");

foreach ($contacts as $contact){
  echo $contact['contact_id'] . ': ' . $contact['display_name'] . "\n";
  // print_r($contact);

  // Home phone
  $param = array(
          'contact_id' => $contact['contact_id'],
        'contact_type' => 'Individual',
       'phone_type_id' => 1,
    'location_type_id' => 2,
               'phone' => '404-424-8701'
  );

  $result = civicrm_contact_update($param);
  print_r($result);

  // Cell phone
  $param = array(
          'contact_id' => $contact['contact_id'],
        'contact_type' => 'Individual',
       'phone_type_id' => 2,
    'location_type_id' => 1,
               'phone' => ''
  );

  $result = civicrm_contact_update($param);
  print_r($result);

  // Work phone
  $param = array(
          'contact_id' => $contact['contact_id'],
        'contact_type' => 'Individual',
       'phone_type_id' => 1,
    'location_type_id' => 1,
               'phone' => '678-921-8186'
  );

  $result = civicrm_contact_update($param);
  print_r($result);

}

You need to use the location API for phones, see:
