I need to mock the S3Client in my symfony5 project to be able to provoke exceptions and test the reaction of my code to those exceptions. We use aws/aws-sdk-php version 3.*

7 Years ago someone had the same problem and I tried to follow this solution [ PHPUnit - Mock S3Client not working well ] but I get errors.

What I do at the moment:

in my service:

I am using the following PHP script to send an email from my server. I need to send an email to the admin when a new record is created in the DB. So within the same php script that updates the DB, I want to trigger the other script that sends the email.

Problem is no matter what I do, apache will not execute the email script when requested from the web/api.

However, when I run php sendemail.php from the command line it works. Also when I run php updatedb.php which includes the exec('php sendemail.php') also works from the command line (these are all executed with root "ec2-user").

Things I tried:

1. I checked the disabled functions in php.ini and it is empty, nothing is disabled.
2. I tried changing file permissions to include 'x' for the apache group still no go.
3. I tried replacing exec with shell_exec, and include, no luck.

Here is 'sendemail.php':

I'm trying to understand the best way to track SES event metrics for emails we're sending through SES. Currently, we're sending email campaigns using the API with SentTemplatedEmail(). The configuration set is currently not set up with any event publishing, which I know would be the first step.

My goal is to gather statistics on each batch of emails sent out, like bounce rates, opens etc. Perhaps even identify which email addresses bounced or had errors. Ideally I'd like to gather this information in our own admin system and store this in our internal databases.

I understand I can send the events to Cloudwatch or Kineses Data Firehose. If I were to do either one of these, how would I go about fetching/parsing the information out of these services in order to use it in our in-house apps? Don't understand which of the services above would be appropriate in this regard (if at all) and how to approach it from there.

Any suggestions on how to architecture this, or where to read up on how to do this? I've seen posts on how to go into Cloudwatch and look at metrics from within the console, but can't find much on how to extract this data.

UPDATE: I did find this: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-php/v3/developer-guide/cw-examples-getting-metrics.html which would allow me to gather statistics for a time period. Not quite what I wanted, as I'd like to track statistics per a bulk send, but still useful. Also don't see a way to track which emails were rejected, so as maybe to remove them from our list.

The AWS SDK for PHP getting started guide mentions:

To use the AWS SDK for PHP, you must be using PHP version 5.5.0 or later with the SimpleXML PHP extension enabled. If you need to sign private Amazon CloudWatch URLs, you also need the OpenSSL PHP extension.

1. What are private Amazon CloudWatch URLs?
2. Is OpenSSL required when using the AWS SDK for PHP?

Is it possible to retrieve temporary credentials from within a Lightsail instance without storing user credentials within ENV or an AWS credentials file? If possible, I'd like to use those temporary credentials to assume a service role with the necessary permissions to my AWS resources.

I was hoping it'd be possible to grant permission to the instance ARN (similar to EC2) but I haven't been able to figure out how. Any help would be appreciated.

I am having an issue with my EC2 instance connecting to our S3 Bucket.

On my ec2 instance, I have php, httpd, aws-cli, aws-sdk installed. I am able to reach the index page where the code is located. Credentials file is set up /usr/share/httpd/.aws/credentials

Code I am using from the Getting Started Basic Usage Guide

Note: I am working through installing an AWS PHP SDK api connection in this question, although my question is entirely about CakePHP structure. Any of the AWS terminology I am using should be pretty simple and is only there to demonstrate the issue with Cake I am running into, if your not familiar with AWS.

I am currently writing some new tables / entities for a CakePHP application I maintain, called Files. They represent images stored on a bucket in Amazon S3. Files contains a value called 'Key' which is more or less the filename of the file represented by the my entity in Cake, matching the filename on S3. The entity looks like this:

I have written an integration for the AWS SDK in PHP to send the keys for files on an S3 bucket and retrieve a pre-signed url, which more or less follows this example. This worked perfectly except I need to now check if the file exists on s3 and return empty string if it does not.

I am doing this with my code below:

I am deploying my laravel application to AWS Elastic Beanstalk and I'm encountering the problem of persisting the oauth keys for laravel passport.

I went through this and this. While the S3 option sounds reasonable, I still wanted a more secure way and wanted to checkout secret manager from AWS.

Since laravel passport provides the option to load keys from a custom folder, I figured I could use the AWS PHP SDK to retrieve a secret key and write it to storage/app/oauth-public.key and storage/app/oauth-private.key and have passport load it from there.

This approach is working fine after deployment to beanstalk but is the storage/app folder a safe location to generate the oauth.*.key files? or is there a better way/safer place?

The following is my boot function in Providers/AuthServiceProvider.php
