isimpledesign Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hi This is a really basic question but i am trying to understand the process of uploading to amazon S3, I dont want to just download a pre-wriiten script that i dont understand whats happen. I am using the s3.php class require_once('S3.php'); $s3 = new S3('[EDITED]', '[EDITED]'); $ourFileName = "files/test.txt"; $ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'r') or die("can't open file"); fclose($ourFileHandle); if ($s3->putObjectFile("files/test.txt", "mybucket", "test/test.txt", S3::ACL_PUBLIC_READ)) { echo "<strong>We successfully uploaded your file.</strong>"; }else{ echo "<strong>Something went wrong while uploading your file... sorry.</strong>"; } Ok so i am just doing this to figure it out, so i create a file and then upload to amazon s3 this works fine, where i am confused is when you backup all files and directories in a site, i dont want all the backup files in the root off my website i want them to automatically upload to amazon. So how does the process work? if i upload a file it works great but i am still upload a file form my server. How does amazon automatically grab files from my server and upload them. Anyone no any basic step by step tutorials i have googled loads but they are all massive pre written classes and stuff which i can get working, but looking for a basic example.
