如何在Windows平台上加载新的Amazon AWS for PHP？

Question

I had been using the PHP library up to version 1.6.2 for Amazon AWS. It was great and just worked. Then they rebuilt it and brought out Version 2.

I just want install the latest version without any programs like Composer and others... I have the ZIP file downloaded and copied to a folder http://localhost/aws/

How do I access the files and use them? I have tried numerous examples and nothing works. I would prefer to use the latest version and not go back to the old version which is over a year old.

I created the following file in the root of the aws folder:

<?php
$config = array();
$config['key'] = 'MYPUBLICKEY';
$config['secret'] = 'MY SECRET KEY';
$config['region'] = 'us-east-1';
$ec2Client = \aws\Ec2\Ec2Client::factory($config);

$result = $ec2Client->DescribeInstances();

echo "Number of running instances: " . countInstances($result);
?>

I don't get a result. It seems to stop at the line $ec2Client =... What should the directory structure be?

The documentation for the AWS SDK for PHP is fairly comprehensive, especially for basic usage. I would start with the Getting Started Guide , which should provide the information you need. With regards to your particular example, you need to correct a few things:

<?php

// Require the autoloader, which is included in the zip
require '/path/to/aws-autoloader.php'; 

$config = array();
$config['key'] = 'MYPUBLICKEY';
$config['secret'] = 'MY SECRET KEY';
$config['region'] = 'us-east-1';
// Please consider using a credential file instead of hard-coding credentials
// See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/guide/latest/credentials.html#credential-profiles

// Note: Classes and Namespaces are case-sensitive with the autoloader
// (i.e., "Aws", instead of "aws")
$ec2Client = \Aws\Ec2\Ec2Client::factory($config);

$result = $ec2Client->describeInstances();

// SDKv2 has a cool getPath function which makes it easy to traverse results
$instanceCount = count($result->getPath('Reservations/*/Instances');
echo "Number of running instances: " . $instanceCount
