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-php package. 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:
```
composer require aws/aws-sdk-php
```
Please see the 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";
}
