Amazon S3 Tip, Check Availability First
If you’re using Amazon S3 in PHP (whether you are using the neurofuzzy s3 class or your own solution) it is a good idea to make sure you can access the service before you attempt any operations on it. If for some reason your site cannot access S3, it’s possible your server could get seriously bogged down or even crash if you aren’t careful.
