Article: The ultimate guide to the Amazon S3 service »

FERDY CHRISTANT - JAN 5, 2009 (12:43:38 PM)

In this article, I will explain how you can integrate the Amazon S3 service into your (PHP) application. Only a small part of this article is about actual code, so you should be able to use the instructions for any platform. We’ll be touching on various topics, including the basic setup, URL routing, scripted file uploads, ways to lower your and control your Amazon bill and much more. I recommend you to read the full article to really get the most out of S3.

Since this article is rather long (13 pages) and contains some wide code listings that are not easy to publish on this blog, I have made it available as a downloadable PDF:

comment » Excellent tutorial. Thank you. I especially like the url generator's interval mechanism... perfect balance between caching and anti-leeching. , Also, good idea putting the descriptions of CloudFront and EC2 at the end. Amazon should be paying you for this. «
