API for adding groups to CiviCRM

Hi

Is there an api call to add people to a group please (table civicrm_group_contact) ?

I tried to find one but have failed.

Thanks

That would be the 'group_contact' api.
civicrm_api3('group_contact', 'add', array('contact_id' => 123, 'group_id' => 1));
Will add contact 123 to group number 1.

Thanks for your reply, sorry for being late responding something cropped up and I had to deal with that.

I get a Fatal error: Call to undefined function civicrm_api3()

I do not get any errors using civicrm_api   but I can't find a call that adds to the civicrm_group_contact table using civicrm_api.

I am doing something wrong? I have bootstrapped civicrm do I need to do this differently?

Thanks

To use the new civicrm_api3 wrapper, you should upgrade CiviCRM to the latest version if you are still on 4.3.0 as your forum bio indicates. Otherwise just use civicrm_api().

but I can't find a call that adds to the civicrm_group_contact table using civicrm_api.
The example I gave you does exactly that. You need to pass an additional paramater 'version' => 3 if you are using civicrm_api() and not civicrm_api3()

actually I think you should wait until 4.3.6 is out before pushing civicrm_api3 - I think there is a bug in it

Ok thanks that would explain why I am having trouble as I had tried the call with version=>3.

Thanks for your help.    :)

so, use civicrm_api($entity, $action, array('version' => 3, ...) until 4.3.6 is released
