How can developers ensure that integrating external features like the "Sofort kaufen" button from eBay does not compromise the security or functionality of their PHP applications?

To ensure that integrating external features like the "Sofort kaufen" button from eBay does not compromise the security or functionality of PHP applications, developers should thoroughly review the documentation provided by eBay for implementing the feature securely. They should also validate and sanitize any input received from the external feature to prevent potential security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting attacks. 

// Example of validating and sanitizing input from the "Sofort kaufen" button
$eBayInput = $_POST['eBay_input'];

// Validate input
if (filter_var($eBayInput, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT)) {
    // Sanitize input
    $sanitizedInput = filter_var($eBayInput, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
    
    // Use the sanitized input in your application
    // ...
} else {
    // Handle invalid input
    // ...
}
