Hey, just have a quick question on this gist. The variables below aren't being used. Should they?

$cd_accountkey = 'foo'; // copy from ClickDimensions
$cd_domain     = 'bar'; // copy from ClickDimensions

I implemented this, and did not use these two lines at all, and it works just fine without them!

$cd_accountkey = 'foo'; // copy from ClickDimensions
$cd_domain = 'bar'; // copy from ClickDimensions

Hi @trsteel88 and @pamelalies

Sorry for the late response. No, $cd_accountkey and $cd_domain are not used in this section, but they are required while using their javascript to set the $cd_visitorkey .. and must have left them here by mistake.

Hi @flowtwo and @pamelalies
I managed to create new Contacts, but it only use the email address for the new Contact, it dosnt apply the FirstName and LastName aswell... any ideas?

$fields = array(
		'Email' => $email,
		'LastName' => $lastname,
		'FirstName' => $firstname,
		'JobTitel' => "tester",
		'score' => $score,
		'cd_visitorkey' => '123',
		'cd_accountkey'=> $cd_accountkey,
		'cd_domain'=> $cd_domain
)

@Smus were you able to figure it out? For me, it's posting and a posted form is acknowledged, but no data is stored.
