    As far as I know you can't.

    I used the PHP function str_replace to replace SID= with SID=blahblah

    $ebay = str_replace("SID=", "SID=sidblabla", $ebay);

    There is no SID to begin with then how can you replace it?

    Also when the RSS display item in your page, you will see a link look something like this

    http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-37018-2978-0/1?AID=104277&PID=1234567&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2BOOK-OF-BOOKS_W0QQitemZ230227863415QQcmdZViewItemQQssPageNameZRSS%3AB%3ASRCH%3AUS%3A101
    PHP:
    You can clearly see your PID but can't insert in the SID :(..

    Ah I see what you mean.

    $ebay = str_replace($mycjpid, $mycjpid."&SID=sidblabla", $ebay);

    Thats what I did, replaced my CJ PID with the PID and SID info.

    Why doing that for? when you can just do this next to afcj&SID=HERE but I am not sure if it will work though

    Take a while to search but finally got it.

    You normally would think just insert &SID=TRACKINGHERE next to your AFCJ=#### right? Well you got it right but if you just insert it in normally then it wont work. You have to encode the &SID in order for it to work.

    So after AFCJ=123456 you put this %26SID%3DYOURTRACKINGIDHERE

    Here is the format

    &afcj=123456%26SID%3DDigitalPoint%20Forum&

    %20 = Space
    %3D = "="
    %26 = "&"


    Enjoy. I ended up solving this myself. LOL

    Here is where I get the Hex Code Reference for each HTML letter

    Not sure where you are seeing that tag, I didn't see it in your last example? Did you mean the pid? Or did you just add this tag to your url
