If you are getting "SignatureDoesNotMatch" errors on putObject, make sure you are using HTTP_Request v1.4.4 - I was getting the error with v1.4.3 http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_Request/

I am using this class with great success but when I try to launch it from an SSH connexion it does not work anymore.
The first arrays that are supposed to have infos like Array ( [x-amz-id-2] => are empty :-s

Any ideas ?

Please note that this class will not work with buckets based in the EU. you will have to tweak the code to make the API-call to http://bucketname/s3.amazonaws.com/... instead of
http://s3.amazonaws.com/bucketname/... apart from that: thank you for the code!

Hi, We are using the S3 class version(0.3.9 – 23rd Dec 2008). Is this genuine version?

for the users of PHP 5.1 or greater, if you are getting this error "AWS authentication requires a valid Date or x-amz-date header" then rename the value DATE_RFC822 to some other value e.g new_DATE_RFC822 because in PHP 5.1 it is already defined and hence the class fails to define it. so modify the s3.class.php and rename all occurrences of DATE_RFC822 to something else. and it will be fixed.

I fixed my problem, all I had to do was set the $debug flag to false.. So I ended up writing a web interface for adding and deleting buckets and objects. It's on my website if anyone is interested. Thanks Geoff, you've made my life easier!

I’ve gotten a good handle on most of the features, but I still can’t serve up a file using getObject(), because the request headers are also being ouptut. When I execute:

$file = $conn->getObject(“myfile.txt”, “mybucket”);

Even without echoing $file, getObject returns the following:

HTTP Request sent to: http://s3.amazonaws.com/mybucket/myfile.jpg

Signing String: GET

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 16:19:00 GMT
/mybucket/myfile.jpg

After this header is printed, the data within the file is also output. If I could suppress the header portion, everything would be fine. If I could suppress everything output by getObject, then all I’d have to do is set the header type and echo $file. Any help is appreciated.

Here’s another beginner questions…;)

after doing $ob = $s3->getObject(…, …);
How can I attach the $ob to the client web browser?

I mean, how can client user download that object with popped-up save-to dialogue?

I can attatch the object to the browser page using header(content disposition) after the SERVER got the object from S3.(this makes double the time to download to final local user PC)

I want to send the private object in s3 to the user client browser directly…(only server php knows the access key and secret key)

How can I do that?

Yes, to set your header, at the start of your script do:

header(‘Content-type: image/jpeg’);

then, get the jpeg data and echo it:

$image = $srvc->getObject(‘’myphoto.jpg’, ‘awsbucket’);

echo $image;

Thank you, Geoff! But, I’m not sure what you mean? I’m a bit of a novice at this stuff. Do you by any chance have an example of how this is done? I’d REALLY appreciate it! Thanks!
