Amazon Question - HELP

Discussion in 'Amazon' started by Cyclops, Aug 3, 2005.

    I have recently purchase a website selling Amazon products. I was under teh impressiont hat all i woudl need to do is change the previous owners Affiliate ID link to my own. However when I do this it comes up with an internal server error.

    The site is: http://www.betterlandscaping.com/

    The section that I am changing wth my code is below: (this is teh original code without my Affilate ID)

    $xmlFeed = 'http://xml.amazon.com/onca/xml3?t=' .$AssociatesID;
    $xmlFeed .= '&dev-t=' .$DevToken;
    $xmlFeed .= '&' .$SearchType;
    $xmlFeed .= '=' .$SearchString;
    $xmlFeed .= '&mode=' .$Mode;
    $xmlFeed .= '&sort=' .$Sort;
    $xmlFeed .= '&offer=All&type=' .$Type;
    $xmlFeed .= '&page=' .$Page. '&f=xml';

    My ID is http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/httpwwwfreehc-20.
    Can any programmers out there help me please? This is so frustrating. It seems such a simple task.

    From what I can see, the current id is whitespace-20, you need to change that one with yours. YOurs should look something like that one (whitespace-20)

    It should not be very hard. Probably there is a line in the code:
    $AssociatesID="whitespace-20";
    change whitespace-20 to your aff id and ;)
