How to write a string to amazon s3 bucket

Question

I would like to know how can I add a string as a file on amazon s3? From whatever I found, I got to know that we can upload a file to s3. What is the best way to upload data without creating a file?

Answer 1

without creating a file on S3, can you write a string? I don't think you can't really do that. On Amazon S3, the only way to store data is using objects. But I found this when I was researching for the same. There is a simple way to do it with PHP, simply send the string as the body of the object, specifying the name of the new file in the key -

$s3->putObject(array(
        'Bucket'       => [Bucket name],
        'Key'          => [path/to/file.ext],
        'Body'         => [Your string goes here],
        'ContentType'  => [specify mimetype if you want],
    ));

This will create a new file according to the specified key, which has content as specified in the string.
