Question 1

How to set up AWS credentials in ZF2 with this module?

Accepted Answer

Copy the aws.local.php.dist file to your config/autoload directory, rename it to aws.local.php, and add your key, secret, and region. IAM instance profile credentials can be used by omitting key and secret.

Question 2

Can I use the AWS SDK ZF2 module with Zend Framework 3?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but only with version 4.* of the module and PHP >= 5.6, as specified in the README. For older PHP versions, use version 3.*, but this may limit compatibility with newer ZF3 features.

Question 3

AWS SDK ZF2 module vs direct AWS SDK usage in ZF2?

Accepted Answer

The module simplifies integration by handling service registration and providing helpers, while direct usage requires manual setup. Choose the module for standardized, dependency-injected access to avoid boilerplate code.

Question 4

How to upload files directly to S3 in Zend Framework 2?

Accepted Answer

Use the S3RenameUpload filter from the module's Filter Plugin Manager. Set the bucket and target in options via setOptions, then apply it to file uploads from forms to skip local storage.

Question 5

Is this module compatible with Laminas?

Accepted Answer

Laminas is the successor to ZF2, so compatibility depends on the version. Check the module's version constraints; it may require adjustments or newer versions for full Laminas support, and community updates are limited.

Question 6

How do I generate signed URLs for private S3 content in ZF2 views?

Accepted Answer

Use the s3Link view helper with an expiration date as the third argument, e.g., $this->s3Link('object', 'bucket', '+10 minutes'). The helper handles HTTPS and signing automatically.
