Storage3


07 Jan

News: Aug 24, 2007: Michael T. provided a patch to fix some date issues he was having with amazon aws. I have not verified this yet, but seeing as I’m not precisely sure when I will be able to verify it I figured I would put his code up here for you to download if you’re experiencing authentication issues like he was! Get it here: Patched Storage3 Class

Current Version: 1.0.1

CHANGELOG

  • 1.0.0
    • Initial Public Release
  • 1.0.1
    • Added function fileExists($s3bucket, $s3file)
    • Added support for listing bucket files for buckets with over 1,000 files
    • Added contributed function setACL($s3bucket, $s3file, $shorthand=public-read)
    • Added support for setting an objects acl during the upload process
    • Added grabbing of response headers (which contain a LOT of userful information)
    • s3test.php includes an example of using headers to verify the integrity of a file stored in s3 via md5 hash

This is a revised version of the file posted here: http://blog.apokalyptik.com/storage3.phps and includes:

  • A local, modified, version of the pear HTTP/Request package
  • A local copy of all other required pear packages
  • Documentation (under development… docs arent my strong suite)
  • An example application (s3test.php)

Cheers!

I’m always excited when we see something new for amazon web services

This certainly looks very interesting! I cant help but wonder if the memory caching in the neterprise version is enough to run small MySQL instances on? At the very least being able to MySQLdump regularly to a file directly on S3 would be useful as opposed to mysqldump to a file, split it into chunks, copy the chunks off to s3.

Perhaps I’ll contact them next week and see if they’ll let me take it for a test drive?!

New WordPress Patchsets

WordPress 2.0.6 is out, and I’ve made some patches for those of you who’ve modified your installations and would rather not have to redo all of your hard work! :)
