Description:
------------
I have just using AWS with PHP and got a problem with Creators attribute:

When there are at least two creators I get array of two elements (associative arrays):

[Creator] => Array(
[0] => Array ( [Role] => Editor [_content] => Stephen G. Kobourov)
[1] => Array( [Role] => Editor [_content] => Michael T. Goodrich )
)

But when an item has only one creator/editor, instead of array with the single element (array) I receive:

[Creator] => Array( [Role] => Editor [_content] => Joe Marks)

But I expecting:

[Creator] => Array( [0] => Array([Role] => Editor [_content]=>Joe Marks) )

In the same time dealing with Author goes correctly:

[Author] => Array([0] => Dimacs International Workshop)

Test script:
---------------
Here is the item you can test on (just enter valid access_key):

http://webservices.amazon.com/onca/xml?Service=AWSECommerceService&Version=2006-11-14&Operation=ItemLookup&AWSAccessKeyId=[ACCESS_KEY]&ItemId=3540420622&IdType=ASIN&ResponseGroup=Medium

<?php
require_once 'Services/AmazonECS4.php';

$amazon = new Services_AmazonECS4([ACCESS_KEY]);
$amazon->setCache('file', array('cache_dir' => 'cache/'));
$amazon->setCacheExpire(600); // 60 seconds = 1 min
$options = array();
$options['ResponseGroup'] = 'Medium';
$result = $amazon->ItemLookup('3540420622', $options);
print_r($result);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
[Author] => Array
(
[0] => M. Kaufmann
[1] => D. Wagner
)

[Binding] => Paperback
[Creator] => Array
(
[Role] => Editor
[_content] => Michael Kaufmann
)

Actual result:
--------------
[Author] => Array
(
[0] => M. Kaufmann
[1] => D. Wagner
)

[Binding] => Paperback
[Creator] => Array
( [0] => Array (
[Role] => Editor
[_content] => Michael Kaufmann
)
)

I placed actual and expected results in wrong sections. Expected result is specified in Actual result section and vice versa. Sorry.
