Please note:
1 - this module requires the CURL optional extension to connect to Amazon.com. Most wehosts provide it, but it's possible yours does not.
2 - When running under PHP4, this module requires the DOM XML optional extension. Again, it's possible your web host may not provide it, but most do.
3 - As of this writing (August 2005) ECS assumes all input is ISO-8850-1 encoded, even as it returns UTF-8. If you have the iconv module enabled, your search terms will be ISO-8850-1 encoded. This is important if you search in languages other than English.

The best way to find out if your host has these modules installed is to make a php file (say, phpinfo.php) containing this:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

on your server and load it into your web browser (say, http://www.example.com/phpinfo.php).
