Installation guide

copy() Copy an object from one location to another. You can pass options available to the CopyObject
operation into the stream context options to modify how the object is copied.
// Copy a file on Amazon S3 to another bucket
copy('s3://bucket/key', 's3://other_bucket/key');
Working with buckets
You can modify and browse Amazon S3 buckets similar to how PHP allows the modification and traversal of
directories on your filesystem.
Here's an example of creating a bucket:
mkdir('s3://bucket');
You can pass in stream context options to the mkdir() method to modify how the bucket is created using the
parameters available to the CreateBucket operation.
// Create a bucket in the EU region
mkdir('s3://bucket', stream_context_create(array(
's3' => array(
'LocationConstraint' => 'eu-west-1'
)
));
You can delete buckets using the rmdir() function.
// Delete a bucket
rmdir('s3://bucket');
Note
A bucket can only be deleted if it is empty.
Listing the contents of a bucket
The opendir(), readdir(), rewinddir(), and closedir() PHP functions can be used with the Amazon S3 stream wrapper
to traverse the contents of a bucket. You can pass in parameters available to the ListObjects operation as custom
stream context options to the opendir() function to modify how objects are listed.
$dir = "s3://bucket/";
if (is_dir($dir) && ($dh = opendir($dir))) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
echo "filename: {$file} : filetype: " . filetype($dir . $file) . "\n";
}
closedir($dh);
}
You can recursively list each object and prefix in a bucket using PHP's RecursiveDirectoryIterator.
$dir = 's3://bucket';
$iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($dir));
foreach ($iterator as $file) {
echo $file->getType() . ': ' . $file . "\n";
}
