Create a User in PHP

The PHP code below shows how you create a new user via the User API. Remember to insert your API key in the request.

<?php 
  $url = "https://app.onelogin.com/api/v3/users.xml";
  $request = "<user><firstname>Joe</firstname><lastname>Hansen</lastname>" .
  "<email>test2@user.com</email></user>";
  $headers = array('Content-type: application/xml','Content-Length: ' . strlen($request));
  $ch = curl_init();
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'YOUR ONELOGIN API KEY HERE');
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, false);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
 $http_result = curl_exec($ch);
  $error       = curl_error($ch);
  $http_code   = curl_getinfo($ch ,CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
 curl_close($ch);
 if ($error) {
  print $error;
  } else {
  preg_match("/Location:.*\/users\/(\d*)\.xml/", $http_result, $matches);
  $id = $matches[1];
  print "ID: $id\n";
  }
  ?>
