To learn more about the batch write operation, see Batch Write: Putting and Deleting Multiple Items.

This code example assumes that you have followed the Getting Started ( Getting Started) and created the Forum and Thread tables. Alternatively, you can load the data programmatically using the instructions in the Creating Example Tables and Uploading Data Using the AWS SDK for PHP topic.

<?php

// Include the SDK using the Composer autoloader
require "vendor/autoload.php";

use Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient;
use Aws\Common\Enum\Region;
use Aws\DynamoDb\Enum\Type;

// Instantiate the DynamoDB client with your AWS credentials
$aws = Aws\Common\Aws::factory("./config.php");
$client = $aws->get("dynamodb");

$tableNameOne = "Forum";
$tableNameTwo = "Thread";

$response = $client->batchWriteItem(array(
    "RequestItems" => array(
        $tableNameOne => array(
            array(
                "PutRequest" => array(
                    "Item" => array(
                        "Name"   => array(Type::STRING => "S3 Forum"),             
                        "Threads" => array(Type::NUMBER => 0)
                    ))
            )
        ),          
         $tableNameTwo => array(
            array(
                "PutRequest" => array(
                    "Item" => array(

                        "Message"=> array(Type::STRING => "Message Text."),
                        "KeywordTags"=>array(Type::STRING_SET => array("S3", "Bucket"))
                    ))
            ),
            array(
