Amazon S3 interface with PHP?

Question

I need to provide a utility on a PHP site for a client to upload files to an amazon S3 bucket. Are there any open source utilities available that I can use?

ideally, this utility would allow the client to select a local file, press the upload button, and then would tell him the URL of the newly uploaded file.

Bonus points if this can provide a list of existing files to browse through.

Thanks!

Edit: This isn't exactly what I'm looking for, but it certainly works as a workaround for now.

Answer 2

Have a look at the Zend Framework's Amazon components - don't worry they can be used ouside of any other Zend bits and pieces.

Amazon officially supports Tarzan AWS

Answer 4

The workaround you're using requires sharing your secret key with a 3rd party web site. Which is highly insecure and simply bad practice.

Why not use S3fm?

Online, secure, convenient. Runs directly from Amazon S3 - no need to share your secret keys with anyone.
