Question

I created a file called awslib.php and put it in the application/libraries folder. These are the contents of awslib.php:

<?php

class Awslib {

    function Awslib()
    {
        require_once('sdk-1.5.6.2/sdk.class.php');
    }
}

Also in the libraries folder is the PHP sdk as a folder named sdk-1.5.6.2.

On my home controller I am loading the library and instantiating the s3 class:

$this->load->library('awslib');
$s3 = new AmazonS3();

When I load my homepage I get this error:

Fatal error: Class 'AmazonS3' not found in /var/www/application/controllers/home.php on line 23

Why isn’t it working?

Note: the problem isn’t with s3, I can get it to work fine when I store it outside codeigniter and load the demo files that come with the sdk.

Answer 1

I’m assuming you’re using the SDK for PHP directly. Most SDKs don’t play nicely in CI unless wrapped up.

I highly recommend using the amazon-s3 library (or rather, the spark).
