Upload external file to AWS S3 bucket using PHP SDK

I want to upload a file from an external URL directly to an Amazon S3 bucket using the PHP SDK. I managed to do this with the following code:



$s3 = new AmazonS3();
$response = $s3->create_object($bucket, $destination, array(
'fileUpload' => $source,
'length' => remote_filesize($source),
'contentType' => 'image/jpeg'
));


Where the function remote_filesize is the following:



function remote_filesize($url) {
ob_start();
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 1);
$ok = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$head = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$regex = '/Content-Length:\s([0-9].+?)\s/';
$count = preg_match($regex, $head, $matches);
return isset($matches[1]) ? $matches[1] : "unknown";
}


However, it would be nice if I could skip setting the filesize when uploading to Amazon since this would save me a trip to my own server. But if I remove setting the 'length' property in the $s3->create_object function, I get an error saying that the 'The stream size for the streaming upload cannot be determined.' Any ideas how to solve this problem?

  1. Try this below it works without the 'The stream size for the streaming upload cannot be determined' error.

    $this->s3->create_object($bucket, $filename.'.jpg', array('body' => file_get_contents($image_url), 'acl' => AmazonS3::ACL_PUBLIC, 'contentType' => 'image/jpeg'));
