PHP

1 - Install php of version 5.5.0 or above .

2 - Install composer for your system .

3 - go to your directory and install aws-sdk for php using command


	composer require aws/aws-sdk-php

4 - You can use the below given Composer command to install the latest version of the AWS SDK for PHP as a dependency.


	php -d memory_limit=-1 composer.phar require aws/aws-sdk-php

4- Make a connection with the EQS client.

To make the connection with the EQS client , you need to pass configurations and credentials.

Configurations-


	region_name- your_region
	endpoint_url - eqs_endpoint_url (provided by e2e networks eqs service)

Credentials-

aws_access_key_id - your_access_key_id aws_secret_key_id - your_secret_key_id

Make connection with EQS​

You can make the connection with the EQS client in three ways

a) You can directly pass the credentials and configurations at the time of making a session with the EQS client. warning - Hardcoded credentials in application is not recommended

edit your .php file


	<?php
	require 'vendor/autoload.php';

	use Aws\Credentials\Credentials;
	use Aws\Sqs\SqsClient;

	$config = [
		'region' => “your region”,
		'version' => '2012-11-05, //version of sdk 
		'endpoint' => “end_point_url_to_connect_with_eqs”
	];

	$credentials = new Credentials('eqs_access_key_id', “eqs_secret_access_key”);
	$eqs_client = new SqsClient([
		'credentials' => $credentials,
		'region' => $config['region'],
		'version' => $config['version'],
		'endpoint' => $config['endpoint']
	]);

	?>

b) you can put credentials and configurations in the config and credentials file , and these files should be located at ~/.aws/config, ~/.aws/credentials location.

put into ~/.aws/config file


	[default]
	region =REGION
	put into ~/.aws/credentials file

put into ~/.aws/credentials file


	[default]
	aws_access_key_id = ACCESS_KEY_ID
	aws_secret_access_key = SECRET_KEY

edit your .php file


	<?php

	require 'vendor/autoload.php';

	use Aws\Sqs\SqsClient; 
	use Aws\Exception\AwsException;

	$eqs_client = new SqsClient([
		'version'=>'2012-11-05',
		'region' => “your_region”,
		'endpoint' => “eqs_end_point_url_provided_by_e2e”
	]);
	?>

c) you can make the connection with the EQS client by passing the credentials and configuration into the environment variables file.

Install the vlucas/phpdotenv package using Composer


	composer require vlucas/phpdotenv

using terminal (Linux, OS X or Unix)


	$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = your_access_key_id
	$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = your_secret_key
	$ export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION = your_eqs_region

using terminal (Windows)


	> set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = your_access_key_id
	> set AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = your_secret_key
	> set AWS_DEFAULT_REGION = your_eqs_region

or, edit your environment variable file


	AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = your_access_key_id
	AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = your_secret_access_key
	AWS_DEFAULT_REGION = your_eqs_region

edit your .php file


	<?php
	require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
	use Aws\Sqs\SqsClient;
	use Dotenv\Dotenv;

	$dotenv = Dotenv::createImmutable(__DIR__);
	$dotenv->load();

	$eqs_client = new SqsClient([
				'version' => '2012-11-05',
				'region' => getenv(AWS_REGION'),
				'credentials' => [
				'key' => getenv('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
				'secret' => getenv('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
				],
		]);
	?>

above eqs_client is an object which has all methods related to queue operations.
