Here’s an easy way to upload directly to S3 from an HTML form. No Java, no Flash. Thanks to @RaamDev for his handy little bit of code for doing HMAC signatures. Based on the documentation from Amazon. Makes use of the AWS SDK for PHP to list the buckets.

i have this error Uncaught exception ‘CFCredentials_Exception’ with message ‘If more than one credential set is provided, a default credential set (identified by the key “@default”) must be specified
That generally indicates that your AWS keys aren’t set up correctly.
i set it up correctly i change something on the code:
CFCredentials::set(array(
‘loc’ => array(
‘key’ => $accesskey,
‘secret’ => $secretkey,
‘certificate_authority’ => false
),
‘@default’ => ‘loc’
));
it works, the problem now is when i try to upload, there is an error about the “policy” , refrerring to “success_action_redirect”
Sometimes you can also get certificate errors when your system clock is out of sync with amazon’s .
one more thing, the “footer.php” is that a required file or not?
Nope, strictly decorative.
is it too much to ask about a downloadable version of your code?
The formatted code on the page should be copy/paste capable in most browsers
Enjoyed the post. Two questions for you. 1) In AWSSDKforPHP_sampleslib there is a progress_bar sample. Any idea how to incorporate it into the script? 2) Any guess as to how large a file the script will handle?
What do I need to do to copy into a folder of a bucket?
What changes in code needs to be done?
You change
to
another question is where does the value for ${filename} come from?
How do I do to check if the file already exists on s3. If yes, opt the user to overwrite?
Can you think of a way to limit the file size that’s selected?
Is there any chance of this being updated, with the release of Amazon PHP SDK 2?
i tried to use this code
i got this error..
Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘CFCredentials_Exception’ with message ‘No credentials were provided. The SDK attempts to retrieve Instance Profile credentials from the EC2 Instance Metadata Service, but doing this requires the “default_cache_config” option to be set in the config.inc.php file or constructor. In order to cache the retrieved credentials.’ in /var/www/s3upload/sdk/sdk.class.php on line 439
What is AWSSDKforPHP/sdk.class.php file here. I downdlod the AWS S3 SDK But not finding this type of file.
