How do I program my site (PHP, HTML and javascript) so that it can automatically do stuff on other sites - like buy x item on Amazon, or edit an article on Wikipedia, based on actions on my site?

You could either do it directly; by having your PHP program CURL a request to Amazon to buy the item just after you receive user input.

Or, you could have a cronjob set up to automatically change Wikipedia entries / buy things on amazon based on database variables, which you would change with your PHP front end.

You would want to do a lot of validation with each approach. Automated systems for buying things screams abuse potential.

Also, i'm not sure how feasible this is with Wikipedia CAPCHAs or Amazon payment APIs. Good luck, though.
