The **AWS SDK for PHP** makes it easy for developers to access [Amazon Web
Services][aws] in their PHP code, and build robust applications and software
using services like Amazon S3, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Glacier, etc. You can
get started in minutes by [installing the SDK through Composer][docs-installation]
or by downloading a single zip or phar file from our [latest release][latest-release].

## Getting Started

1. **Sign up for AWS** – Before you begin, you need to
   sign up for an AWS account and retrieve your [AWS credentials][docs-signup].
1. **Minimum requirements** – To run the SDK, your system will need to meet the
   [minimum requirements][docs-requirements], including having **PHP >= 5.5**.
   We highly recommend having it compiled with the cURL extension and cURL
   7.16.2+ compiled with a TLS backend (e.g., NSS or OpenSSL).
1. **Install the SDK** – Using [Composer] is the recommended way to install the
   AWS SDK for PHP. The SDK is available via [Packagist] under the
   [`aws/aws-sdk-php`][install-packagist] package. If Composer is installed globally on your system, you can run the following in the base directory of your project to add the SDK as a dependency:
   ```
   composer require aws/aws-sdk-php
   ```
   Please see the
   [Installation section of the User Guide][docs-installation] for more
   detailed information about installing the SDK through Composer and other
   means.
1. **Using the SDK** – The best way to become familiar with how to use the SDK
   is to read the [User Guide][docs-guide]. The
   [Getting Started Guide][docs-quickstart] will help you become familiar with
   the basic concepts.

## Quick Examples

### Create an Amazon S3 client

```php
<?php
// Require the Composer autoloader.
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Aws\S3\S3Client;

// Instantiate an Amazon S3 client.
$s3 = new S3Client([
    'version' => 'latest',
    'region'  => 'us-west-2'
]);
```

### Upload a file to Amazon S3

```php
<?php
// Upload a publicly accessible file. The file size and type are determined by the SDK.
try {
    $s3->putObject([
        'Bucket' => 'my-bucket',
        'Key'    => 'my-object',
        'Body'   => fopen('/path/to/file', 'r'),
        'ACL'    => 'public-read',
    ]);
} catch (Aws\S3\Exception\S3Exception $e) {
    echo "There was an error uploading the file.\n";
}
```
