I want to use the AWS PHP SDK on Amazon Linux 2. I thought this should be easy.

I've enabled the epel repo which has php-aws-sdk version 2.8.31. But the developer guide recommends version 3. SDK version 3 depends on PHP 5.5 but this distro comes with 5.4.

I don't see php 5.5 in the default repos.
amazon-linux-extras provides php 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3.
Why is it so hard to get 5.5 which is required for this SDK?

    "To use the AWS SDK for PHP, you must be using PHP version 5.5.0 or later" – is 7.x not possible?

  • Doh! I didn't notice that part. Yes my app is compatible with 7.1 so that should be easy.

You don't have to install PHP 5.5, as php-aws-sdk is compatible with PHP 5.5 and above, so the version of PHP 7 in the repositories (amazon-linux-extras) will work.
