Getting Started
- Sign up for AWS – Before you begin, you need to
sign up for an AWS account and retrieve your AWS credentials. - Minimum requirements – To run the SDK, your system will need to meet the
minimum requirements, including having PHP >= 5.5.
We highly recommend having it compiled with the cURL extension and cURL
7.16.2+ compiled with a TLS backend (e.g., NSS or OpenSSL). - Install the SDK – Using Composer is the recommended way to install the
AWS SDK for PHP. The SDK is available via Packagist under the
aws/aws-sdk-phppackage. If Composer is installed globally on your system, you can run the following in the base directory of your project to add the SDK as a dependency:
Please see thecomposer require aws/aws-sdk-php
Installation section of the User Guide for more
detailed information about installing the SDK through Composer and other
means. - Using the SDK – The best way to become familiar with how to use the SDK
is to read the User Guide. The
Getting Started Guide will help you become familiar with
the basic concepts.
Quick Examples
Create an Amazon S3 client
<?php
// Require the Composer autoloader.
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Aws\S3\S3Client;
// Instantiate an Amazon S3 client.
$s3 = new S3Client([
'version' => 'latest',
'region' => 'us-west-2'
]);
Upload a file to Amazon S3
<?php
// Upload a publicly accessible file. The file size and type are determined by the SDK.
try {
$s3->putObject([
'Bucket' => 'my-bucket',
'Key' => 'my-object',
'Body' => fopen('/path/to/file', 'r'),
'ACL' => 'public-read',
]);
} catch (Aws\S3\Exception\S3Exception $e) {
echo "There was an error uploading the file.\n";
}
