Pass array to constructor in PHP - php

Question

I am fiddling with this issue and cannot resolve it - just wanted to check if anyone here can help with tips
I am loading the class and calling the constructor like this
include_once './Myaws.php';
$aws = new Myaws();
$aws->bucket = $images['config']['bucket'];
Myaws.php is as follows
class Myaws {
public $bucket;
function __construct() {
$this->aws = Aws::factory('./config/aws_config.php');
}
}
It works like a charm!
Now the issue
The './config/aws_config.php' is just an array that will change depending on the deployment stage - so I want to make it dynamic. Here is what I do and it doesnt work
include_once './Myaws.php';
$aws = new Myaws();
$aws->bucket = $images['config']['bucket'];
$aws->config = $images['config']['awsconfig'];
And in the Myaws.php, I change the following
class Myaws {
public $bucket;
public $config;
function __construct() {
$this->aws = Aws::factory($this->config);
}
}
It doesn't work :( and neither does the below one
include_once './Myaws.php';
$aws = new Myaws($images['config']['awsconfig']);
$aws->bucket = $images['config']['bucket'];
class Myaws {
public $bucket;
function __construct($config) {
$this->aws = Aws::factory($config);
}
}
This is pretty basic Oops and I don't seem to get it I think. Can anyone suggest me how can I make that variable $config dynamic?

I found the formatting on the included file vs in a passed array to be not 100% compatible. Also check the in the api docs how they use my_profile to pass those credentials.
here is a example of the current method I am using to generation the config
$aws = Aws::factory($this->getAwsConfig());
private function getAwsConfig()
{
return array(
// Bootstrap the configuration file with AWS specific features
'credentials' => array(
'key' => $this->awsKey,
'secret' => $this->awsSecret
),
'includes' => array('_aws'),
'services' => array(
// All AWS clients extend from 'default_settings'. Here we are
// overriding 'default_settings' with our default credentials and
// providing a default region setting.
'default_settings' => array(
'params' => array(
'region' => $this->awsRegion
)
)
)
);
}
