PHP - Moved: Anyone Familiar With Amazon Api?

Where would you guys recommend I go to learn and become familiar with writing Object Oriented PHP code? Also what are the advantages of writing object oriented code? Is it better than the 'traditional' coding style? I mean without using Objects, Classes, Methods, etc.. Is one way more efficient than the other? I've been seeing a lot of object oriented php code lately, and I'm just curious and want to learn the concept of OOP, any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Guys,

I am wanting to include an api into my website to show amazon products, customer reviews etc.

I am new to this and am struggling to find a tutorial which helps as they are all very complex.

Can you assist.

Hi

This is a really basic question but i am trying to understand the process of uploading to amazon S3, I dont want to just download a pre-wriiten script that i dont understand whats happen.

I am using the s3.php class

require_once('S3.php');

$s3 = new S3('[EDITED]', '[EDITED]');

$ourFileName = "files/test.txt";
$ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'r') or die("can't open file");
fclose($ourFileHandle);

if ($s3->putObjectFile("files/test.txt", "mybucket", "test/test.txt", S3::ACL_PUBLIC_READ)) {
               echo "<strong>We successfully uploaded your file.</strong>";
}else{
               echo "<strong>Something went wrong while uploading your file... sorry.</strong>";
}

Ok so i am just doing this to figure it out, so i create a file and then upload to amazon s3 this works fine, where i am confused is when you backup all files and directories in a site, i dont want all the backup files in the root off my website i want them to automatically upload to amazon.

So how does the process work?
if i upload a file it works great but i am still upload a file form my server.

How does amazon automatically grab files from my server and upload them.

Anyone no any basic step by step tutorials i have googled loads but they are all massive pre written classes and stuff which i can get working, but looking for a basic example.

Thanks

When I used Amazon API to capture a product details using the well known code (http://www.chipdir.nl/amazon/aws_signed_request.phps), It made this error, and consequently lots of CPU usage which made my server down.
Code: [Select]
[14-Mar-2011 20:38:01] PHP Warning:  simplexml_load_string() [<a href='function.simplexml-load-string'>function.simplexml-load-string</a>]: uestProcessingTime&gt;0.0009990000000000&lt;/RequestProcessingTime&gt;&lt;/OperationRequest&gt; in /home/laptop/public_html/jewelryaccessories.us/amazon.php on line 52
Line 51 - 60 of amazon.php is
Code: [Select]
        // parse XML
        $pxml = simplexml_load_string($response);
        if ($pxml === False)
        {
            return False; // no xml
        }
        else
        {
            return $pxml;
        }

I am using a curl library to upload images to Amazon S3 using a php wrapper (http://undesigned.org.za/2007/10/22/amazon-s3-php-class).

However, becuse CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is set to true on my server and open_basedir is enabled, this throws an error:

Code: [Select]
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set
I understand that I could disable open_basedir or use one of the workarounds at http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php. Instead, as a quick test I set CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION = false.

The image upload to S3 still seems to work, but I am concerned that something may break down the line. Are there any implications that I should be aware of? I am not quite if CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is it even relevant in this case?

I have a registration page that mails a link to the users email.

The link in the email takes the user to the activation page which sends out a welcome email and updates the database as activated if the user is not already activated.

For some reason, this page is being accessed by an Amazon ip address with multiple browsers in the user_agent.  Whatever this is is automatically activating my users and sending them a welcome email without them even accessing the page.

The only suspect I can think of is I have a javascript snippit for google ads and also facebook on some of my pages.  I don't know if they could somehow be accessing the page or not.

It must be following the activation link in the mail() script I have on the registration page.

I'm mailing myself the following when the activation page is accessed.  I get an amazon ip, multiple browsers, and no referer.

$browser = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

 

Today, Amazon announced the "Fire Phone", what are your thoughts? http://www.businessi...re-phone-2014-6

I'm running about 50 domains on a private host that's going out of business, so I need to move providers soon. The Amazon or Google cloud platforms are intriguing. Does anyone have any experience using either for website hosting?   My current solution is a Plesk management interface. So, I'm hoping to install the same wherever I go (because migrating 50 domains manually ...)

Help will be appreciated

hello dear php-freaks     well this is just a question that came up to my mind today:     can we put amazon-customer reviews on private websites


    just ran across this statement:

    aybe. I wrote the original answer below earlier. I don't have time to look into this right now because I'm no longer on a project concerned with Amazon reviews, but their webpage at Product Advertising API states "The Product Advertising API helps you advertise Amazon products using product search and look up capability, product information and features such as Customer Reviews..." as of 2011-12-08. So I hope someone looks into it and posts back here; feel free to edit this answer.

    derived he https://stackoverflo...9451851#9451851

    so what is the case: just let us know ?

    Well there are some plugins out there that do that: eg. for wordpress we can use ScrapeAZon. I guess that it does exactly what many many are loooking for.

    cf https://wordpress.or...on/screenshots/

    On a shortnote: probably it is not allowed in some states - in others it probalby will be allowed. What do you say..
