PHP S3 Examples

Installing AWS PHP SDK

This installs AWS PHP SDK using composer (see here how to install composer).

$ composer install aws/aws-sdk-php

Creating a Connection

This creates a connection so that you can interact with the server.

Note

The client initialization requires a region so we use ''.

<?php

use Aws\S3\S3Client;

define('AWS_KEY', 'place access key here');
define('AWS_SECRET_KEY', 'place secret key here');
$ENDPOINT = 'http://objects.dreamhost.com';

// require the amazon sdk from your composer vendor dir
require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

// Instantiate the S3 class and point it at the desired host
$client = new S3Client([
    'region' => '',
    'version' => '2006-03-01',
    'endpoint' => $ENDPOINT,
    'credentials' => [
        'key' => AWS_KEY,
        'secret' => AWS_SECRET_KEY
    ],
    // Set the S3 class to use objects.dreamhost.com/bucket
    // instead of bucket.objects.dreamhost.com
    'use_path_style_endpoint' => true
]);

Listing Owned Buckets

This gets a AWS\Result instance that is more convenient to visit using array access way. This also prints out the bucket name and creation date of each bucket.

<?php
$listResponse = $client->listBuckets();
$buckets = $listResponse['Buckets'];
foreach ($buckets as $bucket) {
    echo $bucket['Name'] . "\t" . $bucket['CreationDate'] . "\n";
}

The output will look something like this:

mahbuckat1   2011-04-21T18:05:39.000Z
mahbuckat2   2011-04-21T18:05:48.000Z
mahbuckat3   2011-04-21T18:07:18.000Z

Creating a Bucket

This creates a new bucket called my-new-bucket and returns a AWS\Result object.

<?php
$client->createBucket(['Bucket' => 'my-new-bucket']);

List a Bucket’s Content

This gets a AWS\Result instance that is more convenient to visit using array access way. This then prints out each object’s name, the file size, and last modified date.

<?php
$objectsListResponse = $client->listObjects(['Bucket' => $bucketname]);
$objects = $objectsListResponse['Contents'] ?? [];
foreach ($objects as $object) {
    echo $object['Key'] . "\t" . $object['Size'] . "\t" . $object['LastModified'] . "\n";
}

Note

If there are more than 1000 objects in this bucket, you need to check $objectsListResponse[‘isTruncated’] and run again with the name of the last key listed. Keep doing this until isTruncated is not true.

The output will look something like this if the bucket has some files:

myphoto1.jpg 251262  2011-08-08T21:35:48.000Z
myphoto2.jpg 262518  2011-08-08T21:38:01.000Z

Deleting a Bucket

This deletes the bucket called my-old-bucket and returns a AWS\Result object

Note

The Bucket must be empty! Otherwise it won’t work!

<?php
$client->deleteBucket(['Bucket' => 'my-old-bucket']);

Creating an Object

This creates an object hello.txt with the string "Hello World!"

<?php
$client->putObject([
    'Bucket' => 'my-bucket-name',
    'Key' => 'hello.txt',
    'Body' => "Hello World!"
]);

Change an Object’s ACL

This makes the object hello.txt to be publicly readable and secret_plans.txt to be private.

<?php
$client->putObjectAcl([
    'Bucket' => 'my-bucket-name',
    'Key' => 'hello.txt',
    'ACL' => 'public-read'
]);
$client->putObjectAcl([
    'Bucket' => 'my-bucket-name',
    'Key' => 'secret_plans.txt',
    'ACL' => 'private'
]);

Delete an Object

This deletes the object goodbye.txt

<?php
$client->deleteObject(['Bucket' => 'my-bucket-name', 'Key' => 'goodbye.txt']);

Download an Object (to a file)

This downloads the object poetry.pdf and saves it in /home/larry/documents/

<?php
$object = $client->getObject(['Bucket' => 'my-bucket-name', 'Key' => 'poetry.pdf']);
file_put_contents('/home/larry/documents/poetry.pdf', $object['Body']->getContents());

Generate Object Download URLs (signed and unsigned)

This generates an unsigned download URL for hello.txt. This works because we made hello.txt public by setting the ACL above. This then generates a signed download URL for secret_plans.txt that will work for 1 hour. Signed download URLs will work for the time period even if the object is private (when the time period is up, the URL will stop working).

<?php
$hello_url = $client->getObjectUrl('my-bucket-name', 'hello.txt');
echo $hello_url."\n";

$secret_plans_cmd = $client->getCommand('GetObject', ['Bucket' => 'my-bucket-name', 'Key' => 'secret_plans.txt']);
$request = $client->createPresignedRequest($secret_plans_cmd, '+1 hour');
echo $request->getUri()."\n";

The output of this will look something like:

http://objects.dreamhost.com/my-bucket-name/hello.txt
http://objects.dreamhost.com/my-bucket-name/secret_plans.txt?X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=sandboxAccessKey%2F20190116%2F%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20190116T125520Z&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Expires=3600&X-Amz-Signature=61921f07c73d7695e47a2192cf55ae030f34c44c512b2160bb5a936b2b48d923
