Thank you.
I am now sending this:
$createAccountToken = $response['query']['tokens']['createaccounttoken'];
$createAccountTokenEncoded = urlencode($createAccountToken);
$oauth->fetch("
https://myserver/w/api.php?action=createaccount&format=json&name=FooBar&email=foo...@gmail.com&realname=FooBar&mailpassword=false&reason=provisioning&language=en&createtoken=$createAccountTokenEncoded";,
null, OAUTH_HTTP_METHOD_POST);
But I see this error:
{"error":{"code":"createmustpostparams","info":"The following parameters
were found in the query string, but must be in the POST body:
createtoken","*":"See https://myserver/w/api.php for API usage"}}
I then try
$parameters = array('createtoken', $createAccountTokenEncoded);
$oauth->fetch("
https://myserver/w/api.php?action=createaccount&format=json&name=FooBar&email=foo...@gmail.com&realname=FooBar&mailpassword=false&reason=provisioning&language=en";,
$parameters, OAUTH_HTTP_METHOD_POST);
but I see this error:
{"error":{"code":"createnotoken","info":"The token parameter must be
set","*":"See https://myserver/w/api.php for API usage"}}
Should the createtoken be passed as part of the query string or in the POST
body?

Thanks. I confess, however, that I am having difficulty understanding the
auto-generated documentation.
If you have time and could point me to the source code for the
createaccount action I will examine it and see if I can discern what I
should be passing in.
Thanks,
Scott K
