Welcome

This guide shows how to start building PHP applications on the Amazon Web Services platform with the AWS SDK for PHP 2.

The AWS SDK for PHP 2 enables PHP developers to build solutions with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Glacier, and more. With the AWS SDK for PHP 2, developers can get started in minutes with a single, downloadable .phar file, or by using Composer.

This latest addition to the AWS SDKs family provides developers with a more modern, extensible, easy to use, and performant AWS client for PHP. This new version is built on top of Guzzle, a PHP HTTP client framework, which provides increased performance, persistent connection management, and an extensible plug-in system. The AWS SDK for PHP 2 requires PHP 5.3.
