In this article, we will review the basics for using VPSA Object Storage with AWS S3 PHP SDK. aws-sdk-php is the official AWS S3 SDK for PHP. 

Prerequisites

1. Zadara VPSA Object Storage deployed in a location of your choice.
2. PHP Composer
3. aws/aws-sdk-php composer package

Connectivity information

For Object Storage connectivity, it is required to gather the following information from the VPSA Object Storage management UI:

1. VPSA Object Storage Endpoint
2. VPSA Object Storage region.
3. S3 API Access Key/Secret Key

From the VPSA Object Storage GUI, navigate to the User Information section (top right corner, by clicking the logged in username).

Example

#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php

// require the AWS SDK for PHP library
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Aws\S3\S3Client;

// Establish connection to ZIOS with an S3 client.
$client = new Aws\S3\S3Client([
 'version' => 'latest',
 'region' => '<VPSA Object Storage Region i.e. us-east-01>',
 'endpoint' => '<VPSA Object Storage Endpoint i.e. https://vsa-00000001-cloud-01.zadarazios.com>',
 'credentials' => [
 'key' => '<S3_Access_Key>',
 'secret' => '<S3_Secret_Key>',
 ]
]);

// List containers
$buckets = $client->listBuckets();
foreach ($buckets['Buckets'] as $bucket){
 echo "{$bucket['Name']}\n";
};

?>
