Integrating AWS PHP SDK with Codeigniter

Question

What's the best way to integrate Amazon's AWS SDK for PHP with Codeigniter 3.x? Installing via Composer and then creating a library? If so, what is the process for doing that?

I've found libraries on Github for integrating just S3 with Codeigniter , but I need to use some of AWS's other services as well (SQS, Route53, etc.), so an approach that integrates the full SDK is needed.

Answer 1

I would recommend using composer to install AWS SDK for PHP. It will be a lot easier for you to pick up the latest version directly without code changes since the SDK keeps on releasing new features/services/bug fixed frequently.

Also you can access new services directly when they launch by depending on latest version of SDK.
