It gives me fatal error like..

Please help.

Answer 1

To avoid all these error while sending request or getting response from AWS, set up AWS SDK using http://aws.amazon.com/developers/getting-started/php/ , or use

git clone https://github.com/awslabs/aws-php-sample.git
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar install

By installing AWS SDK in this way, you'll get a file at vendor/autoload.php

It'll take care of all the required files into the script.

Answer 2

I had the exact same issue and wasn't able to find an answer anywhere. So, in case anyone has the same problem in the future, for me it was simply a matter of using a version of AWS SDK that was incompatible with my PHP version.

Once I upgraded my server's PHP version it all worked fine.
