Great idea Caesar, I’ll be sure to look at it more closely when I have a chance to play with S3 a little more. Are you using this for any live projects or production sites? How stable is it?

This is great Caesar. I would like to use your code in my project, however, I am only able to use GNU licensed code. I am fully willing to give you full credit for it and will provide you with a link to the project.

Would you be willing to dual license it under BSD & GNU?

Thanks for a very practical demonstration of PHP streams. It was very easy to setup; within 10 minutes I was able to use it to do some mass deletes in an S3 bucket that I was cleaning up.

I did run into an issue with special characters in the S3 filenames(Keys). The xml_set_character_data_handler() will fire off multiple times if the data contains certain characters. There is some discussion of it in the PHP manual. see: http://us3.php.net/xml_set_character_data_handler

I followed the suggestion to append data until “_dirEnd” is called then add it to the array and unset the data. So now the callback functions look like this:

/**
* Use this to collect the data when parsing XML
* @access private
* @var string
*/
var $dataXML;

/**
* Handle end of XML tags
*
*/
function _dirEnd(&$parser,&$name){
if ($this->actualTag==”KEY”) $this->dirList[] = this->dataXML;
unset($this->dataXML);
unset($this->actualTag);
}
/**
* Handle data of XML tags
*
* Save in an array when TAG == “KEY”
*/
function _dirData(&$parser,&$data){
if ($this->actualTag==”KEY”) $this->dataXML .= $data;
}
