Amazon SES + PHP - php

Question

I'm trying to set up amazon SES with PHP. I've scoured the internet and the documentation for AWS PHP SDK but I only see outdated scripts on how to include the actual library and send e-mail. Does anyone here have a working script for using Amazon SES with PHP?
This is the closest I've found to test the script but it doesn't work:
require 'src/aws.phar';
use Aws\Common\Enum\Region;
use Aws\Ses\SesClient;
try {
$ses = SesClient::factory(array(
'key' => 'AKIAJ4ERVU6XXXXXXX',
'secret' => 'kMgagzJmB4Xjw7UD+Md0KNgW+CTE2jCXXXXX/',
'region' => Region::US_EAST_1
));
$ses->verifyEmailIdentity( array(
'EmailAddress' => 'jason#aol.com'
));
}
catch( Exception $e )
{
echo $e->getMessage();
}

Answer 1

First, you would want to disable/delete and generate new keypairs so that you would not have to face bad situation as there are scrapers/bots and people who might misuse your access key-pairs.
As for your original question, you didn't describe what didn't work for you. Anyway, since you wanted a working version, check the source code of this: https://github.com/daniel-zahariev/php-aws-ses which will give you enough idea to get yours working.

This is the working code that i got for you, let me know if this helps
<?php
require 'aws.phar';
use Aws\Ses\SesClient;
$client = SesClient::factory(array('region'=>'us-east-1','version'=>
'latest','credentials' => array('key' => 'xxxxx','secret' => 'xxxxxx',)));
$msg = array();
$msg['Source'] = $message['from'];
$msg['Destination']['ToAddresses'][] = $to_address;
$msg['ReplyToAddresses'][] = $from;
$msg['Message']['Subject']['Data'] = $subject;
$msg['Message']['Subject']['Charset'] = "UTF-8";
$msg['Message']['Body']['Html']['Data'] = $body;
$msg['Message']['Body']['Html']['Charset'] = "UTF-8";
try{
$result = $client->sendEmail($msg);
$logmsg = "Passed ".from." - ".to_address;
} catch (Exception $e) {
$logmsg = "Failed ".$message['from']." - ".$to_address;
error_log('Failed Email '.from." - ".$to_address);
}
