I'm trying to apply this to media files (.flv) I have on my S3 bucket. It works, however the link does not provide a download, instead showing a text file. Any idea on why that is? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I know enough about PHP to be dangerous in editing scripts, but now very fluent in PHP yet.
I assume if I use the large code as whatever.PHP in the same directory as the .HTML file and use a PHP call at the top of the HTML - should it work? Is that the setup needed?
(Or, does anyone have anymore code?)
Thanks,
Dave

I've been wrestling with the Amazon S3 SDK for hours. It was adding an extra character at the end of the string which was causing the signature to fail. Your solution resolved the issue. Thank you very much.

I have already set up and authentication process to my elearning website and now the idea is to show a videao streaming securely thanks your code example.
After reading a lot opf things on the Web, I think your code do what I want: the video streaming has to be watching only from my website an I do not want people to share the link.
I tried your code without success. What I would like is to change the usual amazon s3 url to a secured one. I have an HTML editor to write my lesson content, how can I use it to put a secured url rather than an usual one?
Do I need to sign the url and how can I do that?
I purchased the S3Flowshield software hoping to use it easily but my website is not a wordpress one so it does not work...
After much headaches, I found out the problem. You CAN'T have a bucket with Capital Letters in it! Amazon should really mention that when asking for the name.

Well, it depends on how your
Where is the problem?
Hello,
I tried exactly what it is explained but this is what i got in Chrome. I have just changed secrets to xxx.
If somebody can help me ?:
function gs_getStringToSign($request_type, $expires, $uri) { return "$request_type\n\n\n$expires\n$uri"; } function gs_encodeSignature($s, $key) { $s = utf8_encode($s); $s = hash_hmac('sha1', $s, $key, true); $s = base64_encode($s); return urlencode($s); } function gs_prepareS3URL($file, $bucket) { $awsKeyId = "xxx"; // this is the non-secret key ID. $awsSecretKey = "xxxx"; // this is the SECRET access key! $file = rawurlencode($file); $file = str_replace('%2F', '/', $file); $path = $bucket .'/'. $file; $expires = strtotime('+1 hour'); $stringToSign = gs_getStringToSign('GET', $expires, "/$path"); $signature = gs_encodeSignature($stringToSign, $awsSecretKey); $url = "http://$bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/$file"; $url .= '?AWSAccessKeyId='.$awsKeyId .'&Expires='.$expires .'&Signature='.$signature; return $url; } Hey everyone! Download my file:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function gs_prepareS3URL() in /home/elearnin/public_html/aws/hello.php on line 10

Well, the error says it can't
Well, the error says it can't find that function, so that must mean you don't have that function included in your source code.
Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you so much for sharing this. I find the AWS documentation quite convoluted, and I simply could not make sense of what needed to be done.
I'm going to wrap your functions in a class and share back with you when I'm done :)
Awesome-- I'm glad this post

Protect file from downloading+granting acces to elearning site
Hello,
I am not a developer but I want to use video from Amazon S3 in my elearning website without public access to the video.
The idea is for people with access to the elearning platform to watch the video and only them no matter without constraints of availability time.
Is it the correct code according to you ?
Regards,
Maxime
I don't think so. It sounds
I don't think so. It sounds like you need some kind of authentication (where they must enter a username and password), but this code isn't for that.
Hello, I have already set up
