Current API does not seem to offer adding custom field may be API needs to be worked again.

This sniplet should work for you to update your customfields

Just add it in to your existing code where you define the postfields

$customfields = array(
   '1stcustomfieldname' => "1st customfield value",
   '2ndcustomfieldname' => "2nd customfield value",
   '3rdcustomfieldname' => "3rd customfield value",
);
$postfields["customfields"] = base64_encode(serialize($customfields));

ok, but how it will look like if in form I have inputs with 12 months:

<select name="customfield[9]"><option value="Month">Month</option><option value=" January"> January</option><option value=" February"> February</option><option value=" March"> March</option><option value=" April"> April</option><option value=" May"> May</option><option value=" June"> June</option><option value=" July"> July</option><option value=" August"> August</option><option value=" September"> September</option><option value=" October"> October</option><option value=" November"> November</option><option value=" December"> December</option></select>

Hi sparky, I have the similar issue. I tried the above code but it didn't add any custom values. I tried the sample code from WHMCS API. Here are the post fields:

$postfields["action"] = "addclient";

$postfields["firstname"] = "Test";

$postfields["lastname"] = "User";

$postfields["companyname"] = "WHMCS";

$postfields["email"] = "demo@whmcs.com";

$postfields["address1"] = "123 Demo Street";

$postfields["city"] = "Demo";

$postfields["state"] = "Florida";

$postfields["postcode"] = "AB123";

$postfields["country"] = "US";

$postfields["phonenumber"] = "123456789";

$postfields["password2"] = "demo";
