A CakePHP Plugin to interact with Amazon Web Services S3 objects. This plugin provides a simple and robust methods that can be added to any CakePHP project to complete the following:

• Retrieve a remote file from an S3 bucket and save locally
• Save a local file in an S3 bucket
• Delete a file in an S3 bucket

Requirements

• CakePHP 2.x
• An Amazon Web Services account (http://aws.amazon.com/s3/)
• Your AWS access key and secret key

Installation

[Composer]

required: "tabenguyen/cakephp-amazon-s3": "dev-master"

Usuage examples

Remember to add CakePlugin::load('CakephpAmazonS3'); to your app's bootstrap file.

Then, simply initialise the plugin with your AWS Access key, secret key and the bucket name you wish to work with.

App::uses('AmazonS3', 'CakephpAmazonS3.Lib');
$AmazonS3 = new AmazonS3(array('{access key}', '{secret key}', '{bucket name}'));

GET

The get method retrieves a remote file and saves it locally. So let's say there is the file foo.jpg on S3 and you want to save it locally in /home/me/stuff/photos you'd use the following.

$AmazonS3->get('foo.jpg' , '/home/me/stuff/photos');

PUT

The put method does the reverse of get, and saves a local file to S3.

$AmazonS3->put('/home/me/stuff/photos/foo.jpg');

You can optionally specifiy a remote directory within the bucket to save the file in.

$AmazonS3->put('/home/me/stuff/photos/foo.jpg' , 'some/folder');

To add any additional AWS headers to a put, example to set the file as "public", they can be passed as an array to the amazonHeaders property.

$AmazonS3->amazonHeaders = array(
	'x-amz-acl' => 'public-read',
	'X-Amz-Meta-ReviewedBy' => 'john.doe@yahoo.biz'
);
$AmazonS3->put('/home/me/stuff/photos/foo.jpg' , 'some/folder');

DELETE

Deletes a file from S3.

$AmazonS3->delete('foo.jpg');

Or delete from within a directory in the bucket:

$AmazonS3->delete('/some/folder/foo.jpg');
