Package Content

Quick Start

1. Extract the downlaod file into a working directory.
2. Go to src/Amazon/EC2/Samples subdirectopry
3. Edit .config.inc.php:



• Set AWS Access Key ID and AWS Secret Access Key

    define('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID', '<Your Access Key ID>');
    define('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY', '<Your Secret Access Key>');
                




• Open DescribeImagesSample.php sample, and find part:

 // @TODO: set request. Action can be passed as Amazon_EC2_Model_DescribeImagesRequest
 // object or array of parameters
 // invokeDescribeImages($service, $request);
                




• And uncomment:

 invokeDescribeImages($service, array('ImageId' => 'ami-be3adfd7'));
                



4. Run DescribeImages sample:

   php src/Amazon/EC2/Samples/DescribeImagesSample.php
            

5. You should see the output similar to the following:




    DescribeImagesResponse
        DescribeImagesResult
            Image
                ImageId
                    ami-be3adfd7
                ImageLocation
                    ec2-public-images/fedora-8-i386-base-v1.04.manifest.xml
                ImageState
                    available
                KernelId
                    aki-4438dd2d
                RamdiskId
                    ari-4538dd2c
                ...
            



6. Experiment with samples. When ready, install library in your php include path and use it

Making Requests to a Different Region

To make a service call to a different region, instantiate the client with a configuration object, and pass the region-specific endpoint. For example:

    $ec2Config = array ('ServiceURL' => 'https://eu-west-1.ec2.amazonaws.com');
    $ec2 = new Amazon_EC2_Client($accessKeyId, $secretAccessKey, $ec2Config);

Please see the Amazon EC2 Developer Guide for a complete list of region endpoints.

Notes

    $request = new Amazon_EC2_Model_DescribeImages();
    $request->setImageId('ami-be3adfd7');
    $response = $service->describeImages($request);
        

    $response = $service->describeImages(array('ImageId' => 'ami-be3adfd7'));
        

Happy coding!
