Configuration

This guide describes client constructor options. These options can be provided in a client constructor or to the Aws\Sdk class.

Configuration Options

The following example shows how to pass options into an Amazon S3 client constructor.

use Aws\S3\S3Client;

$options = [
    'region'            => 'us-west-2',
    'version'           => '2006-03-01',
    'signature_version' => 'v4'
];

$s3Client = new S3Client($options);

Refer to the basic usage guide </getting-started/basic-usage> for more information on constructing clients.

api_provider

Type: callable

A PHP callable that accepts a type, service, and version argument, and returns an array of corresponding configuration data. The type value can be one of api, waiter, or paginator.

By default, the SDK will use an instance of Aws\Api\FileSystemApiProvider that loads API files from the src/data folder of the SDK.

credentials

Type: array|Aws\Credentials\CredentialsInterface|bool|callable

If you do not provide a credentials option, the SDK will attempt to load credentials from your environment in the following order:

Load credentials from environment variables <environment_credentials>
Load credentials from a credentials ini file <credential_profiles>
Load credentials from an IAM instance profile <instance_profile_credentials>.

You can provide an associative array of "key", "secret", and "token" key value pairs to use hardcoded credentials <hardcoded_credentials>.

// Hardcoded credentials.
$s3 = new Aws\S3\S3Client([
    'version'     => 'latest',
    'region'      => 'us-west-2',
    'credentials' => [
        'key'    => 'abc',
        'secret' => '123'
    ]
]);

Pass an Aws\Credentials\CredentialsInterface object to use a specific credentials instance.

$credentials = new Aws\Credentials\Credentials('key', 'secret');

$s3 = new Aws\S3\S3Client([
    'version'     => 'latest',
    'region'      => 'us-west-2',
    'credentials' => $credentials
]);

Pass false to utilize null credentials and not sign requests.

$s3 = new Aws\S3\S3Client([
    'version'     => 'latest',
    'region'      => 'us-west-2',
    'credentials' => false
]);

Pass a callable credential provider <credential_provider> function to create credentials using a function.

use Aws\Credentials\CredentialProvider;

// Only load credentials from environment variables.
$provider = CredentialProvider::env();

$s3 = new Aws\S3\S3Client([
    'version'     => 'latest',
    'region'      => 'us-west-2',
    'credentials' => $provider
]);

You can find more information about providing credentials to a client in the credentials guide.

Note

Credentials are loaded and validated lazily when they are used.

debug

Type: bool|array

Outputs debug information about each transfer. Debug information contains information about each state change of a transaction as it is prepared and sent over the wire. Also included in the debug output is information of the specific HTTP handler used by a client (e.g., debug cURL output).

Set to true to display debug information when sending requests.

$s3 = new Aws\S3\S3Client([
    'version' => 'latest',
    'region'  => 'us-west-2',
    'debug'   => true
]);

// Perform an operation to see the debug output.
$s3->listBuckets();

Alternatively, you can provide an associative array with the following keys:

logfn (callable): Function that is invoked with log messages. By default, PHP's echo function will be utilized.
stream_size (int): When the size of a stream is greater than this number, the stream data will not be logged. Set to 0 to not log any stream data.
scrub_auth (bool): Set to false to disable the scrubbing of auth data from the logged messages (meaning your AWS Access Key ID and signature will be passed through to the logfn).
http (bool): Set to false to disable the "debug" feature of lower level HTTP handlers (e.g., verbose curl output).

$s3 = new Aws\S3\S3Client([
    'version' => 'latest',
    'region'  => 'us-west-2',
    'debug'   => [
        'logfn'       => function ($msg) { echo $msg . "\n"; },
        'stream_size' => 0,
        'scrub_auth'  => true,
        'http'        => true,
    ]
]);

// Perform an operation to see the debug output.
$s3->listBuckets();

Tip

The debug output is extremely useful when diagnosing issues in the AWS SDK for PHP. Please provide the debug output for an isolated failure case when opening issues on the SDK.

endpoint

Type: string

The full URI of the webservice. This is only required when connecting to a custom endpoint (e.g., a local version of Amazon S3 or Amazon DynamoDB Local).

Here's an example of connecting to Amazon DynamoDB Local:

$client = new Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient([
    'version'  => '2012-08-10',
    'region'   => 'us-east-1'
    'endpoint' => 'http://localhost:8000'
]);

See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html for a list of available regions and endpoints.

endpoint_provider

Type: callable

An optional PHP callable that accepts a hash of options including a "service" and "region" key and returns NULL or a hash of endpoint data, of which the "endpoint" key is required.

Here's an example of how to create a minimal endpoint provider:

$provider = function (array $params) {
    if ($params['service'] == 'foo') {
        return ['endpoint' => $params['region'] . '.example.com'];
    }
    // Return null when the provider cannot handle the parameters.
    return null;
});

handler

Type: callable

A handler that accepts a command object, request object and returns a promise (GuzzleHttp\Promise\PromiseInterface) that is fulfilled with an Aws\ResultInterface object or rejected with an Aws\Exception\AwsException. A handler does not accept a next handler as it is terminal and expected to fulfill a command. If no handler is provided, a default Guzzle handler will be utilized.

You can use the Aws\MockHandler to return mocked results or throw mock exceptions. You enqueue results or exceptions, and the MockHandler will dequeue them in FIFO order.

use Aws\Result;
use Aws\MockHandler;
use Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient;
use Aws\CommandInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface;

$mock = new MockHandler();

// Return a mocked result.
$mock->append(new Result(['foo' => 'bar']);

// You can provide a function to invoke. Here we throw a mock exception.
$mock->append(function (CommandInterface $cmd, RequestInterface $req) {
    return new AwsException('Mock exception', $command);
});

// Create a client with the mock handler.
$client = new DynamoDbClient([
    'region'  => 'us-west-2',
    'version' => 'latest',
    'handler' => $mock
]);

// Result object response will contain ['foo' => 'bar']
$result = $client->listTables();

// This will throw the exception that was enqueued
$client->listTables();

http

Type: array

Set to an array of HTTP options that are applied to HTTP requests and transfers created by the SDK.

The SDK supports the following configuration options:

connect_timeout

A float describing the number of seconds to wait while trying to connect to a server. Use 0 to wait indefinitely (the default behavior).

use Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient;

// Timeout after attempting to connect for 5 seconds.
$client = new DynamoDbClient([
    'region'  => 'us-west-2',
    'version' => 'latest',
    'http'    => [
        'connect_timeout' => 5
    ]
]);

debug

Type: bool|resource

Instructs the underlying HTTP handler to output debug information. The debug information provided by different HTTP handlers will vary.

Pass true to write debug output to STDOUT.
Pass a resource as returned by fopen to write debug output to a specific PHP stream resource.

delay

Type: int

The number of milliseconds to delay before sending the request. This is often used for delaying before retrying a request.

progress

Type: callable

Defines a function to invoke when transfer progress is made. The function accepts the following arguments:

The total number of bytes expected to be downloaded.
The number of bytes downloaded so far.
The number of bytes expected to be uploaded.
The number of bytes uploaded so far.

use Aws\S3\S3Client;

$client = new S3Client([
    'region'  => 'us-west-2',
    'version' => 'latest'
]);

// Apply the http option to a specific command using the "@http"
// command parameter.
$result = $client->getObject([
    'Bucket' => 'my-bucket',
    'Key'    => 'large.mov',
    '@http' => [
        'progress' => function ($expectedDl, $dl, $expectedUl, $ul) {
            printf(
                "%s of %s downloaded, %s of %s uploaded.\n",
                $expectedDl,
                $dl,
                $expectedUl,
                $ul
            );
        }
    ]
]);

proxy

Type: string|array

You can connect to an AWS service through a proxy using the proxy option.

Provide a string value to connect to a proxy for all types of URIs. The proxy string value can contain a scheme, username, and password. For example, "http://username:password@192.168.16.1:10".
Provide an associative array of proxy settings where the key is the scheme of the URI, and the value is the proxy for the given URI (i.e., you can give different proxies for "http" and "https" endpoints).

use Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient;

// Send requests through a single proxy.
$client = new DynamoDbClient([
    'region'  => 'us-west-2',
    'version' => 'latest',
    'http'    => [
        'proxy' => 'http://192.168.16.1:10'
    ]
]);

// Send requests through a a different proxy per/scheme
$client = new DynamoDbClient([
    'region'  => 'us-west-2',
    'version' => 'latest',
    'http'    => [
        'proxy' =>
            'http' => 'tcp://192.168.16.1:10',
            'https' => 'tcp://192.168.16.1:11',
        ]
    ]
]);

You can use the HTTP_PROXY environment variable to configure an "http" protocol specific proxy, and the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable to configure an "https" specific proxy.

sink

Type: resource|string|Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface

The sink option controls where the response data of an operation is downloaded to.

Provide a resource as returned by fopen to download the response body to a PHP stream.
Provide the path to a file on disk as a string value to download the response body to a specific file on disk.
Provide a Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface to download the response body to a specific PSR stream object.

Note

The SDK will download the response body to a PHP temp stream by default. This means that the data will stay in memory until the size of the body reaches 2MB, at which point the data will be written to a temporary file on disk.

sync

Type: bool

The sync option informs the underlying HTTP handler that you intend on blocking on the result.

stream

Type: bool

Set to true to tell the underlying HTTP handler that you wish to stream the response body of a response from the web service rather than download it all up-front. For example, this option is relied upon in the Amazon S3 stream wrapper class to ensure that the data is streamed.

timeout

Type: float

A float describing the timeout of the request in seconds. Use 0 to wait indefinitely (the default behavior).

use Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient;

// Timeout after 5 seconds.
$client = new DynamoDbClient([
    'region'  => 'us-west-2',
    'version' => 'latest',
    'http'    => [
        'timeout' => 5
    ]
]);

verify

Type: bool|string

You can customize the peer SSL/TLS certificate verification behavior of the SDK using the verify http option.

Set to true to enable SSL/TLS peer certificate verification and use the default CA bundle provided by operating system.
Set to false to disable peer certificate verification (this is insecure!).
Set to a string to provide the path to a CA cert bundle to enable verification using a custom CA bundle.

If the CA bundle cannot be found for your system and you receive an error, then you will need to provide the path to a CA bundle to the SDK. If you do not need a specific CA bundle, then Mozilla provides a commonly used CA bundle which can be downloaded here (this is maintained by the maintainer of cURL). Once you have a CA bundle available on disk, you can set the openssl.cafile PHP ini setting to point to the path to the file, allowing you to omit the verify request option. Much more detail on SSL certificates can be found on the cURL website.

use Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient;

// Use a custom CA bundle.
$client = new DynamoDbClient([
    'region'  => 'us-west-2',
    'version' => 'latest',
    'http'    => [
        'verify' => '/path/to/my/cert.pem'
    ]
]);

// Disable SSL/TLS verification.
$client = new DynamoDbClient([
    'region'  => 'us-west-2',
    'version' => 'latest',
    'http'    => [
        'verify' => false
    ]
]);

http_handler

Type: callable

The http_handler option is used to integrate the SDK with other HTTP clients. An http_handler option is a function that accepts a Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface object and an array of http options applied to the command, and returns a GuzzleHttp\Promise\PromiseInterface object that is fulfilled with a Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface object or rejected with an array of the following exception data:

exception: (\Exception) the exception that was encountered.
response: (Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface) the response that was received (if any).
connection_error: (bool) set to true to mark the error as a connection error. Setting this value to true will also allow the SDK to automatically retry the operation if needed.

The SDK will automatically convert the given http_handler into a normal handler option by wrapping the provided http_handler with a Aws\WrappedHttpHandler object.

Note

This option supersedes any provided handler option.

profile

Type: string

Allows you to specify which profile to use when credentials are created from the AWS credentials file in your HOME directory. This setting overrides the AWS_PROFILE environment variable. Note: Specifying "profile" will cause the "credentials" key to be ignored.

// Use the "production" profile from your credentials file.
$ec2 = new Aws\Ec2\Ec2Client([
    'version' => '2014-10-01',
    'region'  => 'us-west-2',
    'profile' => 'production'
]);

See credentials for more information on configuring credentials and the INI file format.

region

Type: string
Required: true

Region to connect to. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html for a list of available regions.

// Set the region to the EU (Frankfurt) region.
$s3 = new Aws\S3\S3Client([
    'region'  => 'eu-central-1',
    'version' => '2006-03-01'
]);

retries

Type: int
Default: int(3)

Configures the maximum number of allowed retries for a client. Pass 0 to disable retries.

The following example disables retries for the Amazon DynamoDB client.

// Disable retries by setting "retries" to 0
$client = new Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient([
    'version' => '2012-08-10',
    'region'  => 'us-west-2',
    'retries' => 0
]);

scheme

Type: string
Default: string(5) "https"

URI scheme to use when connecting connect. The SDK will utilize "https" endpoints (i.e., utilize SSL/TLS connections) by default. You can attempt to connect to a service over an unencrypted "http" endpoint by setting scheme to "http".

$s3 = new Aws\S3\S3Client([
    'version' => '2006-03-01',
    'region'  => 'us-west-2',
    'scheme'  => 'http'
]);

See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html for a list of endpoints whether or not a service supports the http scheme.

service

Type: string
Required: true

Name of the service to utilize. This value will be supplied by default when using a client provided by the SDK (i.e., Aws\S3\S3Client). This option is useful when testing a service that has not yet been published in the SDK but you have available on disk.

signature_provider

Type: callable

A callable that accepts a signature version name (e.g., v4), a service name, and region, and returns a Aws\Signature\SignatureInterface object or NULL if the provider is able to create a signer for the given parameters. This provider is used to create signers utilized by the client.

There are various functions provided by the SDK in the Aws\Signature\SignatureProvider class that can be used to create customized signature providers.

signature_version

Type: string

A string representing a custom signature version to use with a service (e.g., v4, etc.). Per/operation signature version MAY override this requested signature version if needed.

The following examples show how to configure an Amazon S3 client to use signature version 4:

// Set a preferred signature version.
$s3 = new Aws\S3\S3Client([
    'version'           => '2006-03-01',
    'region'            => 'us-west-2',
    'signature_version' => 'v4'
]);

Note

The signature_provider used by your client MUST be able to create the signature_version option you provide. The default signature_provider used by the SDK can create signature objects for "v4" and "anonymous" signature versions.

validate

Type: bool
Default: bool(true)

Set to false to disable client-side parameter validation. You may find that turning validation off will slightly improve client performance, but the difference is negligible.

// Disable client-side validation.
$s3 = new Aws\S3\S3Client([
    'version'  => '2006-03-01',
    'region'   => 'eu-west-1',
    'validate' => false
]);

version

Type: string
Required: true

The version of the web service to utilize (e.g., 2006-03-01).

A "version" configuration value is required. Specifying a version constraint ensures that your code will not be affected by a breaking change made to the service. For example, when using Amazon S3, you can lock your API version to 2006-03-01.

$s3 = new Aws\S3\S3Client([
    'version' => '2006-03-01',
    'region'  => 'us-east-1'
]);

A list of available API versions can be found on each client's API documentation page: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v3/api/index.html. If you are unable to load a specific API version, then you may need to update your copy of the SDK.

You may provide the string latest to the "version" configuration value to utilize the most recent available API version that your client's API provider can find (the default api_provider will scan the src/data directory of the SDK for API models).

// Use the latest version available.
$s3 = new Aws\S3\S3Client([
    'version' => 'latest',
    'region'  => 'us-east-1'
]);

Warning

Using latest in a production application is not recommended because pulling in a new minor version of the SDK that includes an API update could break your production application.
