title: AWS S3 file upload over PHP and HTTP
body: <p>I'm wanting to use Amazons S3 service to store the files that users upload to my LAMP package. I'm wondering what would be the best (time, cost, security, etc) to do this. I'm familar with uploading files using HTTP with PHP processing but I've always saved it to the local storage. Should I have a tmp directory that I have the SDK upload from or should or even could I upload the file to S3 from a data variable? Also I would like to be able to handle 5 GB files but at the moment I'm only running a half a GB of ram, would this cause any issues while I'm in the alfa of my project? Keep in mind my web server is an EC2 server. Thanks for the help.</p>
