    sudo apt-get install php-curl
    

  • On CentOS, you can install PHP's cURL extension using the yum package manager.

    sudo yum install php-curl
    

Installing SDKs

You can install the SDK using Composer, Phar, or the source code.

Composer

It is recommended to install cos-php-sdk-v5 with Composer, a PHP dependency manager that allows you to declare the dependencies necessary for your project and then automatically installs them into your project.

Note：

You can find more information such as how to install Composer, how to configure auto-load, and other best practices for defining dependencies at Composer official website.

Installation steps

1. Start the terminal.

2. Run the following command to download Composer:

   curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
   

3. Create a file named composer.json with the following content:

   {
   "require": {
       "qcloud/cos-sdk-v5": ">=2.0"
   }
   }
   

4. Run the following command to install the SDK with Composer.

   php composer.phar install
   

This command will create a vendor folder in the current directory. The folder will contain the SDK's dependent library and an autoload.php script file for future calls in your project.
5. Call cos-php-sdk-v5 with the autoloader script.

require '/path/to/sdk/vendor/autoload.php';

Now, you can use COS XML SDK for PHP in your project.

Phar

Install the SDK using the Phar method as instructed below:

1. Download the phar file here.
2. Import the phar file into your code.

require  '/path/to/cos-sdk-v5.phar';

Source code

Install the SDK using the source code as instructed below:

1. Download cos-sdk-v5.tar.gz compressed file on the SDK releases page.

   Note：

   Source code is packaged by GitHub by default. The vendor directory is not included.

   2. After decompressing it, load the SDK through the autoload.php script.

require '/path/to/sdk/vendor/autoload.php';

Getting Started

The following describes how to use the PHP SDK of COS to perform basic operations, such as initializing the client, creating a bucket, querying the bucket list, uploading an object, querying the object list, downloading an object, and deleting an object. For more information about the parameters involved in the samples, please see Bucket Operations and Object Operations.

Initialization

$secretId = "COS_SECRETID"; //"TencentCloud API key's SecretId";
$secretKey = "COS_SECRETKEY"; // "SecretKey of your Tencent Cloud API key";
$region = "COS_REGION"; // Set the default bucket region
$cosClient = new Qcloud\Cos\Client(
   array(
       'region' => $region,
       'schema' => 'https', // Protocol header; http by default
       'credentials'=> array(
           'secretId'  => $secretId ,
           'secretKey' => $secretKey)));

If you initialize a client with a temporary key, create an instance in the following way.

$tmpSecretId = "COS_SECRETID"; //"Temporary key's SecretId";
$tmpSecretKey = "COS_SECRETKEY"; //"Temporary key's SecretKey";
$tmpToken = "COS_TOKEN"; // "Token of the temporary key";
$region = "COS_REGION"; // Set the default bucket region
$cosClient = new Qcloud\Cos\Client(
   array(
       'region' => $region,
       'schema' => 'https', // Protocol header; http by default
       'credentials'=> array(
           'secretId'  => $tmpSecretId,
           'secretKey' => $tmpSecretKey,
           'token' => $tmpToken)));

Creating a bucket

try {
   $bucket = "examplebucket-1250000000"; // Bucket name in the format of BucketName-APPID
   $result = $cosClient->createBucket(array('Bucket' => $bucket));
   //Request succeeded
   print_r($result);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
   // Request failed
   echo($e);
}

Querying a bucket list

try {
   // Request successful 
   $result = $cosClient->listBuckets();
   print_r($result);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
   // Request failed
   echo($e);
}

Uploading an object

Note：

• Upload a file (up to 5 GB) using the putObject API.
• Upload a file using the Upload API. The Upload API is a composition API that uses simple upload for small files and uses multipart upload for large files.
• For the parameter description, please see Object Operations.

# Upload a file.
## putObject (an API that can upload files of up to 5 GB)
### Upload strings in memory
try {
   $bucket = "examplebucket-1250000000"; // Bucket name in the format of BucketName-APPID
   $key = "exampleobject"; // Object key, the unique identifier of the object in the bucket
   $result = $cosClient->putObject(array(
       'Bucket' => $bucket,
       'Key' => $key,
       'Body' => 'Hello World!'));
   print_r($result);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
   echo "$e\n";
}
### Upload a file stream
try {
   $bucket = "examplebucket-1250000000"; // Bucket name in the format of BucketName-APPID
   $key = "exampleobject"; // Object key, the unique identifier of the object in the bucket
   $srcPath = "path/to/localFile";// Absolute path to local file
   $file = fopen($srcPath, "rb");
   if ($file) {
       $result = $cosClient->putObject(array(
           'Bucket' => $bucket,
           'Key' => $key,
           'Body' => $file));
       print_r($result);
   }
} catch (\Exception $e) {
   echo "$e\n";
}
## Upload (advanced upload API, which can upload files of up to 50 TB with multipart upload)
### Upload strings in memory
try {    
   $bucket = "examplebucket-1250000000"; // Bucket name in the format of BucketName-APPID
   $key = "exampleobject"; // Object key, the unique identifier of the object in the bucket
   $result = $cosClient->Upload(
       $bucket = $bucket,
       $key = $key,
       $body = 'Hello World!');
   print_r($result);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
   echo "$e\n";
}
### Upload a file stream
try {    
   $bucket = "examplebucket-1250000000"; // Bucket name in the format of BucketName-APPID
   $key = "exampleobject"; // Object key, the unique identifier of the object in the bucket
   $srcPath = "path/to/localFile";// Absolute path to local file
   $file = fopen($srcPath, 'rb');
   if ($file) {
       $result = $cosClient->Upload(
           $bucket = $bucket,
           $key = $key,
           $body = $file);
   }
   print_r($result);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
   echo "$e\n";
}

Querying an object list

try {
   $bucket = "examplebucket-1250000000"; // Bucket name in the format of BucketName-APPID
   $result = $cosClient->listObjects(array(
       'Bucket' => $bucket
   ));
   // Request successful
   if (isset($result['Contents'])) {
       foreach ($result['Contents'] as $rt) {
           print_r($rt);
       }
   }
} catch (\Exception $e) {
   // Request failed
   echo($e);
}

A single call to the listObjects API can query up to 1,000 objects. If you want to query all objects, you need to call it repeatedly.

try {
   $bucket = "examplebucket-1250000000"; // Bucket name in the format of BucketName-APPID
   $prefix = ''; // Prefix of the objects to be listed
   $marker = ''; // End marker in the last list
   while (true) {
       $result = $cosClient->listObjects(array(
           'Bucket' => $bucket,
           'Marker' => $marker,
           'MaxKeys' => 1000 // Set the maximum number of entries to be listed in one single query, which is up to 1,000
       ));
       if (isset($result['Contents'])) {
           foreach ($result['Contents'] as $rt) {
               // Print key
               echo($rt['Key'] . "\n");
           }
       }
       $marker = $result['NextMarker']; // Set a new end marker
       if (!$result['IsTruncated']) {
           break; // Determine whether the query is complete
       }
   }
} catch (\Exception $e) {
   echo($e);
}

Downloading an object

• Download a file using the getObject API.
• Get the file download URL using the getObjectUrl API.

# Download a file.
## getObject (download file)
### Download to memory
try {
   $bucket = "examplebucket-1250000000"; // Bucket in the format of BucketName-APPID
   $key = "exampleobject";  // Object key, the unique identifier of the object in the bucket
   $result = $cosClient->getObject(array(
       'Bucket' => $bucket,
       'Key' => $key));
   // Request succeeded
   echo($result['Body']);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
   // Request failed
   echo "$e\n";
}
### Download to the local file system

   $result = $cosClient->getObject(array(
       'Bucket' => $bucket,
       'Key' => $key,
       'SaveAs' => $localPath));
} catch (\Exception $e) {
   // Request failed
   echo "$e\n";
}

*/
try {
   $bucket = "examplebucket-1250000000"; // Bucket in the format of BucketName-APPID
   $key = "exampleobject";  // Object key, the unique identifier of the object in the bucket
   $localPath = @"path/to/localFile";// Download to a specific local path
   $result = $cosClient->getObject(array(
       'Bucket' => $bucket,
       'Key' => $key,
       'Range' => 'bytes=0-10',
       'SaveAs' => $localPath));
} catch (\Exception $e) {
   // Request failed
   echo "$e\n";
}
## getObjectUrl (get the file URL)
try {    
   $bucket = "examplebucket-1250000000"; // Bucket in the format of BucketName-APPID
   $key = "exampleobject";  // Object key, the unique identifier of the object in the bucket
   $signedUrl = $cosClient->getObjectUrl($bucket, $key, '+10 minutes');
   // Request successful
   echo $signedUrl;
} catch (\Exception $e) {
   // Request failed
   print_r($e);
}

Deleting an object

## deleteObject
try {
   $bucket = "examplebucket-1250000000"; // Bucket in the format of BucketName-APPID
   $key = "exampleobject";  // Object key, the unique identifier of the object in the bucket
   $result = $cosClient->deleteObject(array(
       'Bucket' => $bucket,
       'Key' => $key,
       'VersionId' => 'string'
   ));
   // Request successful
   print_r($result);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
   // Request failed
   echo($e);
}
# Delete multiple objects.
## deleteObjects
try {
   $bucket = "examplebucket-1250000000"; // Bucket in the format of BucketName-APPID
   $key1 = "exampleobject1";  // Object key, the unique identifier of the object in the bucket
   $key2 = "exampleobject2";  // Object key, the unique identifier of the object in the bucket
   $result = $cosClient->deleteObjects(array(
       'Bucket' => $bucket,
       'Objects' => array(
           array(
               'Key' => $key1,
