What are some common pitfalls to avoid when using PHP for Amazon Affiliate scripts?

One common pitfall to avoid when using PHP for Amazon Affiliate scripts is not properly sanitizing user input, which can leave your script vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. To prevent this, always use prepared statements when executing SQL queries to ensure that user input is properly escaped. 

// Example of using prepared statements to sanitize user input
$stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT * FROM products WHERE id = :id');
$stmt->bindParam(':id', $id, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$stmt->execute();
