The Code

The file with the helper functions is now ready to be included in any PHP script. This script has several functions that handle requesting information from Amazon and generating HTML based on the responses. Pick your favorite ASIN and create a file called detail.phpwith the following code:

<?php

include('amazon_functions.php');

$Data=amazon_search_asin("0596004478","HEAVY");
$ProductInfoHTML=amazon_create_productinfo($Data);

echo $ProductInfoHTML;

php?>

TIP

Be sure to save both amazon_functions.php and detail.php to the same directory on your web server. Also, if you have a directory specified as an include_path in your php.ini configuration file, you can save amazon_functions.php there and it'll be available to all of your PHP scripts.
