Send file from HTML form to AWS S3 Bucket - php

Question

I'm taking the file from a html form and then uploading it to an AWS S3 bucket.
The following code finds the path of the file on my computer and then uploads it to S3:
$bucketname = 'we-sign-files';
$file_path = '/Users/dripz/Desktop/wesign/uploads/5f31fc30410c17.68431957.jpg';
$key = basename($file_path);
try {
$s3->putObject([
'Bucket' => $bucketname,
'Key' => $key,
'Body' => fopen($file_path, 'r')
]);
} catch (Aws\S3\Exception\S3Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
What code should I put in the $file_path = variable to take the image from the users' computer and then upload to S3?

Use file_get_contents:
file_get_contents($_FILES['uploadedfileFormField']['tmp_name']);
and then you don't need: fopen.
Try-catch and error handling you have to take care of.
$bucketname = 'we-sign-files';
$fileName = $_FILES['uploadedfileFormField']['tmp_name'];
$file_path = file_get_contents($fileName);
$key = basename($fileName);
try {
$s3->putObject([
'Bucket' => $bucketname,
'Key' => $key,
'Body' => $file_path
]);
} catch (Aws\S3\Exception\S3Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
