I am using S3.php class to upload files to amazon s3. I updated the s3 class with putObjectStream function and trying to test yr example. But i am not being able to upload even 50MB file. Sometimes, i receive request time out error and sometimes, screen just goes blank and with that, i am not even being able to debug the code.

Your help would be highly appreciated.

The main benefit is that for large files you don’t have them completely stored in memory.

What are the benefits/drawbacks of streaming a file versus the putting an object via the typical REST request?

What are the implications of very large (multiple gig) files?

Thanks for this code! I am working on a C# / PHP project and needed a way of streaming in PHP.

Thanks

There are multiple ways you can do that. If the fragments are small enough the easiest way would probably be to just read them into a buffer then stream the buffer. If the fragment is larger you could seek to the place in the file you want to start from and then let things go from that point. One thing to keep in mind is that the S3 stream is a pump you are providing data to. From your example you are trying to be the pump to push the data.

is it anyhow possible to send “fragments” of a file?

I have this php code:
$fp = fopen(….)

while(!feof($fp)) {
$fragment = fread(..);

-> USE MISSIONDATA’S CLASS TO STREAM FILE-FRAGMENT TO S3
}

any possibility?
