Program AWS with NuSOAP and PHP
PHP’s standard SOAP module NuSOAP makes SOAP simple.
Like Perl, PHP has its emerging standard method of working with SOAP applications. NuSOAP is a single PHP script (with over 4,000 lines of code!) that handles all of the SOAP heavy lifting for you. Get your copy from http://dietrich.ganx4.com/nusoap/ and include the file in the same directory as your scripts.
The Code
The script,
amazon_soap.php
,
is meant to be run as a web page. It accepts a variable,
keyword, in the URL. With this, it creates the
proper SOAP request and returns the results
as an array.
<html>
<head>
<title>Amazon Keyword Search</title>
</head>
<body>
<?
#Use the NuSOAP php library
require_once('nusoap.php');
#Set parameters
$parameters = array('keyword' => $HTTP_GET_VARS['keyword'],
'type' => 'lite',
'page' => '1',
'mode' => 'books',
'tag' => 'insert associate tag',
'devtag' => 'insert developer token');
#Create a new SOAP client with Amazon's WSDL
$soapclient = new soapclient('http://soap.amazon.com/schemas2/[RETURN] AmazonWebServices.wsdl','wsdl'); $proxy = $soapclient->getproxy( ); #query Amazon $results = $proxy->KeywordSearchRequest($parameters); //echo 'Request: <xmp>'.$proxy->request.'</xmp>'; //echo 'Response: <xmp>'.$proxy->response.'</xmp>'; #Results? if (is_array($results['Details'])) { print "<p>Search for <b>" . $HTTP_GET_VARS['keyword'] .
