How can I use the eBay Accelerator Toolkit for PHP to access
eBay data?
Basically the Toolkit only wraps the eBay API so you still need access to
eBay API. You have to subscribe to the eBay Developer Program
(http://developer.ebay.com) and retrieve at minimum a key-triple for the
test-system. If you are already a member of eBay's Developer Program
you only need to setup your PHP environment.
Do I need any special PHP Setup?
The eBay API needs to be accessed via a XML interchange on a HTTPS
connection. Regarding the PHP setup you will need access to cURL with
OpenSLL support. Besides PHP needs to be linked with XML support
enabled.
My ISP does not support cURL nor OpenSSL, how can I use the
Toolkit?
Currently there is no way to work without cURL. We are planning to skip
the need of cURL (anyway OpenSSL is still needed). You might also take
in consideration to change to another ISP which supports the needed PHP
extensions.
