Docusign API PHP SDK code help

[jaybo]

I have created a template with Docusign API using a base document (a customer contract) the details of which will change when I send out an envelope but the layout will remain the same. I am trying to replace the base document from the template when creating the envelope. I have been informed that I need to use composite templates but when I try to code that I am getting a 500 error.

Here is the code for the envelope definition:

* @param  $args array
 * @return array ['redirect_url']
 * @throws ApiException for API problems and perhaps file access \Exception too.
 */
# ***DS.snippet.0.start
private function worker(array $args): array
{
    # 1. Create the envelope request object
    $envelope_definition = $this->make_envelope($args["envelope_args"]);

    # 2. call Envelopes::create API method
    # Exceptions will be caught by the calling function
    $envelope_api = $this->clientService->getEnvelopeApi();
    $results = $envelope_api->createEnvelope($args['account_id'], $envelope_definition);

    return ['envelope_id' => $results->getEnvelopeId()];
}

 * Parameters for the envelope: signer_email, signer_name, signer_client_id

500 is an internal server error. What does your httpd log say?

[jaybo]

from using tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log httpd log returns no errors. Also inputting error_reporting(E_ALL); on script runtime returns nothing also.

 

php.ini file is also updated to error_log ON.

[gw1500se]

It may not necessarily be in error_log. There may be several different error logs depending on your configuration. Check all error logs.

Thanks will work on that too!
