The Associate-O-Matic API allows you to access dynamic page information for use in your own pages, scripts and applications. It does require basic PHP programming.
This dynamic information is found in the PHP array called: $page
Depending on where you're at in your store the $page array will contain different information that you can make use of.
Here are the main places where you can make use of the $page array:
- Home Page (Format: HTML/PHP File)
- Custom Boxes (Box Type: HTML/PHP File)
- Custom Pages (Page Type: HTML/PHP File)
- Site Header (Embedded PHP)
- Site Footer (Embedded PHP)
To use the $page array you would reference it inside PHP tags inside an external PHP script
or HTML file. For example using the below you can get a dump of the array elements:
