Amazon S3 Plugin for CakePHP 2.x
================================

[](#amazon-s3-plugin-for-cakephp-2x)

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

[](#requirements)

- CakePHP 2.x
- An Amazon Web Services account ()
- Your AWS access key and secret key

### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require gianksp/cakephp-amazon-s3:dev-master
```

### Usuage examples

[](#usuage-examples)

Remember to add `CakePlugin::load('AmazonS3');` 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', 'AmazonS3.Lib');
$AmazonS3 = new AmazonS3(array('{access key}', '{secret key}', '{bucket name}'));
```

### GET

[](#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

[](#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. Be sure not to include a starting / in the remote directory string.

```
$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

[](#delete)

Deletes a file from S3.

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

Or delete from within a directory in the bucket. Be sure not to include a starting / in the string or you will receive a SignatureDoesNotMatch error:

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