REST call configuration advice needed

    Hi

    We are using contact form 7 on a clients site

    The client has asked us to create REST calls of any received mails to an outside api

    We found the plug in Contact form 7 to REST call which seemed to be exactly what we were looking for

    The plug in instructs the user to configure a page of code to make the calls ( see below)

    <?php
    class Conf
    {
    const cf7RESThost=’mydoimain.com’;
    const cf7RESTport=’90’;
    const cf7RESTmethod=”POST”;
    const cf7RESTpath = ‘http://mydoimain.com/api/something&#8217;;

    /*BODY {tag-names-to-auto-replace}*/
    public static function GeBody()
    {
    $cf7RESTparams=
    <<<BODY
    <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
    <data>
    <lead>
    <key></key>
    <leadgroup></leadgroup>
    <firstname></firstname>
    <lastname></lastname>
    <site></site>
    <introducer></introducer>
    <type></type>
    <user></user>
    <status></status>
    <reference></reference>
    <source></source>
    <medium></medium>
    <term></term>
    <cost></cost>
    <value></value>
    <title></title>
    <company></company>
    <jobtitle></jobtitle>
    <phone1></phone1>
    <phone2></phone2>
    <fax></fax>
    <email></email>
    <address></address>
    <address2></address2>
    <address3></address3>
    <towncity></towncity>
    <postcode></postcode>
    <dobday></dobday>
    <dobmonth></dobmonth>
    <dobyear></dobyear>
    <contactphone></contactphone>
    <contactfax></contactfax>
    <contactemail></contactemail>
    <contactmail></contactmail>
    <contacttime></contacttime>
    <data1></data1>
    </lead>
    </data>
    BODY;

    return $cf7RESTparams;
    }

    }
    ?>

    But we have tried recoding slightly to someting more like what the api server is anticipating

    <?php
    class Conf
    {
    const cf7RESThost=’pastiche.org.uk’;
    const cf7RESTport=’90’;
    const cf7RESTmethod=”POST”;
    const cf7RESTpath = ‘http://54.74.140.148/services/contacts/
    ‘;

    /*BODY {tag-names-to-auto-replace}*/
    public static function GeBody()
    {
    $cf7RESTparams=
    <<<BODY
    <contact>
    <contactEmail>{your-email}</contactEmail>
    <contactName>{your-name}</contactName>
    <contactTelephone>{Telephone}</contactTelephone>
    <notes>{your-message}</notes>
    </contact>
    BODY;

    return $cf7RESTparams;
    }

    }
    ?>

    But the info passed in the call just replicates the { } placeholders we set an not the actual content of any of the emails

    Any suggestions anyone? thanks in adavnce
