Upload File using PHP into Amazon S3 bucket - without using SDK

Question

i need to upload a file, into an Amazon S3 bucket, using PHP code, but i need to do that without using the SDK (Version 3).

i cannot use the SDK version 3, because i have PHP version 5.3.3 on my server.

All links, guides and examples, in the Amazon S3 website, are referring to the SDK. how can i upload a file without using the SDK?

thank you.

The SDK is open sourced so you can see how it works. I think the hard part is not the actual upload which is pretty easy (it's just a post at a specific endpoint) it is generating the authentication signature. — apokryfos

use the curl command to upload an image to s3 with access key and secret key. — Adiii

Here's how you upload an object to S3 using S3 API. You don't need to use an SDK for this. Just send an HTTPS request as per the documentation.
