I have one instance in Amazon EC2. It is a Photobook. User can signup and upload images and they can create a photobook. S for that we want S3 storage. I searched a lot for a good PHP class to manipulate these folders, images and html files.
Now I have no idea how we can create folder, delete folder and search for a folder.
Can anyone help find a solution for these folder/image manipulation requirements like create , search, delete?
The official PHP SDK?

Good question. I was trying to do it now and didn't found the answer in any documentation.
So I discovered that you just need to send the entire path in $keyname parameter:
folder/my_file_name.jpg
The S3 service can recognize and creates automatically the folders.
I think as me, you were looking for a method create_folder-like.
Easy and tricky.

I have a big CRM system on PHP, which active works with users files, and stores them in the folder in the root of the project. Now i need to change system to save files on Amazon S3, but because of bad arhitecture of the system (it's an old open-source system) i cannot just rewrite the code. So, i got a little bit crazy idea, to intercept all system calls to one folder ("/var/www/%my_project%/uploads"), and process them in special way. PHP should be sure that it works with usual folder, file_put_contents and file_get_contents should work as usual, but in fact they should work with code which will serve files from S3 for them. Is that possible (how?), or it's too crazy idea?
Thanks :)
Amazon S3 Stream Wrapper helped me. It's needed just to create a client object, and call registerStreamWrapper method. That's all, now you can work with a folder "s3://yourbacketname" as with usual folder.
Is it possible to create a file on Dropbox via the API and write to it directly? My current solution is to create a temp file locally, write to it, upload it and then remove the temp file.
I've only been able to find references on the Dropbox documentation to uploading files and not creating files, so I assume the above isn't possible, but would love to know if anyone has found a way.
Thanks in advance!
I don't understand what distinction you're drawing between "creating files" and "uploading files." You can certainly create/upload a file via the Dropbox API. See /files_put. Since you tagged this with PHP, the relevant methods in the official PHP SDK are uploadFile and uploadFileFromString.
I am working on the S3 bucket uploads and encountered an issue.I want to update the folder name inside one of my bucket.Went through the API here,but did not find a solution.
I would like to know if it is possible to achieve it or not?I would like experts over here to give inputs on it.
Thank you for your time.
Folders are not really folders in s3. They are just parts of the object key.
To "rename" the folder, you will need to rename all the objects inside the folder to include a different folder in its path.
I am looking for a way to do this.
Is it possible, if so how?
Thanks
Yes, not specific for CodeIgniter, but the Windows Azure SDK for PHP should have all the functionality you need.
It's also created by the Microsoft Windows Azure team, so it's officially supported.

we inherited Zend project, which hosts all static files (css, js, images, ..) on Amazon S3. Original programmer told me, that deployment is automated, but when I update new (for example) css file on server, on S3 is still old version.
Same guy linked me this article: http://www.labnol.org/internet/lower-amazon-s3-bill-improve-website-loading-time/5193/, where is section "Implement Caching for Amazon S3 Files". I added ?v param for my css file, but it didn't help.
I set permissions in Amazon S3 console for user "info" (I'm logged as info#domain.tld) to: Open/Download, View Permissions and Edit permissions for mentioned css file.
Is it possible, that Zend can update static files on Amazon S3, or it's bad info? I tried to search in Zend doc, but unsuccessfully.
Thank for help
Zend Framework does offer a component to connect and work with Amazon S3. check out Zend Framework S3
It dosen't matter what kind of file (object) it is, it can be updated.
If you can find it post some of the update code and maybe someone can troubleshoot it.
