How to copy files from S3 bucket to S3 bucket directly in PHP (AWS SDK for PHP)?
I'm finding examples for Ruby, i.e.:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/10418427/2899889
But I can not find a single example for php. Also I could not find methods copy_to() or copy_from() in AWS SDK for PHP - the commands used in Ruby examples?

My Answer:
To copy files from one S3 bucket to another using the AWS SDK for PHP, you can use the `copyObject` method provided by the SDK. Here's an example code snippet to demonstrate how to copy files from one S3 bucket to another in PHP:

php
require 'vendor/autoload.php'; // Include the AWS SDK for PHP

use Aws\S3\S3Client;

// Set up the AWS SDK client
$s3 = new S3Client([
'version' => 'latest',
'region' => 'us-east-1',
'credentials' => [
'key' => 'YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID',
'secret' => 'YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY',
],
]);

// Specify the source and destination bucket names
$sourceBucket = 'source-bucket';
$sourceKey = 'source-file.txt';
$destinationBucket = 'destination-bucket';
$destinationKey = 'destination-file.txt';

// Copy the object from the source bucket to the destination bucket
$result = $s3->copyObject([
'Bucket' => $destinationBucket,
'Key' => $destinationKey,
'CopySource' => "{$sourceBucket}/{$sourceKey}",
]);

// Check if the copy operation was successful
if ($result) {
echo "File copied successfully from {$sourceBucket}/{$sourceKey} to {$destinationBucket}/{$destinationKey}";
} else {
echo "Failed to copy file";
}
?>


Make sure to replace `'YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'` and `'YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'` with your actual AWS credentials. Also, replace `'source-bucket'`, `'source-file.txt'`, `'destination-bucket'`, and `'destination-file.txt'` with the appropriate bucket names and file keys.

This code snippet demonstrates how to copy a file from one S3 bucket to another using the AWS SDK for PHP.
