Using the Code

Create a new Amazon instance using
$amazon = new Amazon($accesskey, $associatetag, $secretkey, $locale);
The locale can be any of the supported Amazon Locales.
You can use strings or the pre-defined constants found in AmazonCountry.php.
Constants:
AmazonCountry::US // USA
AmazonCountry::DE // Germany
AmazonCountry::FR // France
AmazonCountry::UK // United Kingdom
AmazonCountry::IT // Italy
AmazonCountry::ES // Spain
AmazonCountry::BR // Brasil
AmazonCountry::CA // Canada
AmazonCountry::CN // China

AmazonCountry::JP // Japan
AmazonCountry::MX // Mexico
After initializing the Instance, you can now add Parameters using the "param" function:
$amazon->param('Operation', 'ItemSearch');
These parameters will be in the request url.
After adding all your parameters, simply use the "request" function to send the request:
$response = $amazon->request()
By default the response will be a Page of the Amazon API parsed through the SimpleXMLElement class.
However, if you wish to get all Pages in a returned collection, simply add
$amazon->allPages = true
to the instance and it will return a collection of 10 Pages.
