I think I finally figured out Morgans issue.
Ruben you are pretty much right, I used my iPhone 6S which is small and when pasting the amazon code I must have done something wrong with my thick fingers which gave the initial error.
I probably then copied and pasted the example code and it still did not work so I created this thread asking for help.
During the process I noticed the text "the php body of your custom box here" and deleted it and suddenly it worked.
Next step was to replace the "the html body of your custom box here" text with a proper code and it worked as intended.
Thanks to this thread and Rubens replies it got my brain thinking correctly and you know what it happened in the past too.
Thanks to everyone who chipped in with thoughts!🙏👍
PS now I need to get confidence and knowledge how to upgrade from MySQL 5.6 to 5.7.. but that's another thread..
