setMock()

Enables or disables Mock Mode for the object.

public setMock([bool $b = true ][, array<string|int, mixed>|string|int $files = null ]) : mixed

Use this method when you want to test your object without sending actual requests to Amazon. When Mock Mode is enabled, responses are pulled from files you specify instead of sending the request. Be careful, as this means that the parameters you send will not necessarily match the response you get back. The files are pulled in order of the list, looping back to the first file after the last file is used. The log records every time a file is set or used, or if the file is missing. This method is also used to set response codes used by certain functions. Mock Mode is particularly useful when you need to test functions such as canceling orders or adding new products.

Parameters
$b : bool = true

[optional]

When set to TRUE, Mock Mode is enabled for the object. Defaults to TRUE.

$files : array<string|int, mixed>|string|int = null

[optional]

The list of files (or single file) to be used with Mock Mode. If a single string is given, this method will put it into an array. Integers can also be given, for use in fetchMockResponse. These numbers should only be response codes, such as 200 or 404.

Return values
mixed —

setStore()

Sets the store values.

public setStore(string $s) : mixed

This method sets a number of key values from the config file. These values include your Merchant ID, Access Key ID, and Secret Key, and are critical for making requests with Amazon. If the store cannot be found in the config file, or if any of the key values are missing, the incident will be logged.

Parameters
$s : string

The store name to look for.

Tags
throws
Exception

If the file can't be found.

Return values
mixed —

setThrottleStop()

Enables or disables the throttle stop.

public setThrottleStop([bool $b = true ]) : mixed

When the throttle stop is enabled, throttled requests will not be repeated. This setting is off by default.

Parameters
$b : bool = true

Defaults to TRUE.

Return values
mixed —

setUseToken()

Sets whether or not the object should automatically use tokens if it receives one.

public setUseToken([bool $b = true ]) : bool

If this option is set to TRUE, the object will automatically perform the necessary operations to retrieve the rest of the list using tokens. If this option is off, the object will only ever retrieve the first section of the list.

Parameters
$b : bool = true

[optional]

Defaults to TRUE

Return values
bool —

FALSE if improper input

checkResponse()

Checks whether or not the response is OK.

protected checkResponse(array<string|int, mixed> $r) : bool

Verifies whether or not the HTTP response has the 200 OK code. If the code is not 200, the incident and error message returned are logged.

Parameters
$r : array<string|int, mixed>

The HTTP response array. Expects the array to have the fields code, body, and error.

Return values
bool —

TRUE if the status is 200 OK, FALSE otherwise.

checkToken()

protected checkToken(SimpleXMLObject $xml) : bool
Parameters

response data

Return values
bool —

FALSE if no XML data

fetchMockFile()

Fetches the given mock file, or attempts to.

protected fetchMockFile([bool $load = true ]) : SimpleXMLObject|string|bool

This method is only called when Mock Mode is enabled. This is where files from the mock file list are retrieved and passed back to the caller. The success or failure of the operation will be recorded in the log, including the name and path of the file involved. For retrieving response codes, see fetchMockResponse.

Parameters
$load : bool = true

[optional]

Set this to FALSE to prevent the method from loading the file's contents into a SimpleXMLObject. This is for when the contents of the file are not in XML format, or if you simply want to retrieve the raw string of the file.

Return values
SimpleXMLObject|string|bool —

A SimpleXMLObject holding the contents of the file, or a string of said contents if $load is set to FALSE. The return will be FALSE if the file cannot be fetched for any reason.

fetchMockResponse()

Generates a fake HTTP response using the mock file list.

protected fetchMockResponse() : bool|array<string|int, mixed>

This method uses the response codes in the mock file list to generate an HTTP response. The success or failure of this operation will be recorded in the log, including the response code returned. This is only used by a few operations. The response array will contain the following fields:

  • head - ignored, but set for the sake of completion
  • body - empty XML, also ignored
  • code - the response code fetched from the list
  • answer - answer message
  • error - error message, same value as answer, not set if status is 200
  • ok - 1 or 0, depending on if the status is 200
Return values
bool|array<string|int, mixed> —

An array containing the HTTP response, or simply the value FALSE if the response could not be found or does not match the list of valid responses.

genQuery()

Handles generation of the signed query string.

protected genQuery() : string

This method uses the secret key from the config file to generate the signed query string. It also handles the creation of the timestamp option prior.

Tags
throws
Exception

if config file or secret key is missing

Return values
string —

query string to send to cURL

genTime()

Generates timestamp in ISO8601 format.

protected genTime([string $time = false ]) : string

This method creates a timestamp from the provided string in ISO8601 format. The string given is passed through strtotime before being used. The value returned is actually 30 seconds early, to prevent it from tripping up Amazon. If no time is given, the current time is used.

Parameters
$time : string = false

[optional]

The time to use. Since this value is passed through strtotime first, values such as "-1 hour" are fine. Defaults to the current time.

Return values
string —

Unix timestamp of the time, minus 30 seconds.

log()

Writes a message to the log.

protected log(string $msg[, string $level = 'Info' ]) : bool

This method adds a message line to the log file defined by the config. This includes the priority level, user IP, and a backtrace of the call.

Parameters
$msg : string

The message to write to the log.

$level : string = 'Info'

[optional]

The priority level of the message. This is merely for the benefit of the user and does not affect how the code runs. The values used in this library are "Info", "Warning", "Urgent", and "Throttle".

Tags
throws
Exception

If the file can't be written to.

Return values
bool —

FALSE if the message is empty, NULL if logging is muted

parseXML()

Parses XML response into two arrays.

protected parseXML(SimpleXMLObject $xml) : bool

This is what reads the response XML and converts it into two arrays.

Parameters
$xml : SimpleXMLObject

The XML response from Amazon.

Return values
bool —

FALSE if no XML data is found

resetMock()

Sets mock index back to 0.

protected resetMock([bool $mute = false ]) : mixed

This method is used for returning to the beginning of the mock file list.

Parameters
$mute : bool = false

[optional]

Set to TRUE to prevent logging.

Return values
mixed —

sendRequest()

Sends a request to Amazon via cURL

protected sendRequest(string $url[, array<string|int, mixed> $param = [] ]) : array<string|int, mixed>

This method will keep trying if the request was throttled.

Parameters
$url : string

URL to feed to cURL

$param : array<string|int, mixed> = []

parameter array to feed to cURL

Return values
array<string|int, mixed> —

prepareToken()

Sets up options for using tokens.

private prepareToken() : mixed

This changes key options for switching between simply fetching a list and fetching the rest of a list using a token. Please note: because the operation for using tokens does not use any other parameters, all other parameters will be removed.

Return values
mixed —
