[PHP] delete S3 bucket with AWS PHP SDK

[Tim Dunphy]

Hi All,

 I am attempting to delete an empty S3 bucket using the AWS PHP SDK.

 Here's how they describe the process in the docs:

$result = $client->deleteBucket(array(
    // Bucket is required
    'Bucket' => 'string',
));

 You can find the full entry here:

AWS PHP SDK Delete Bucket
Docs<http://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php-2/latest/class-Aws.S3.S3Client.html#_deleteBucket>

Here's how I approached it in my code:

 $s3 = new AmazonS3();

  $result = $s3->deleteObject(array(
    'Bucket' => $bucket_name ));

But when I run it, this is the error I get:

'Notice: Undefined index: $bucket_name in /var/www/awssdk/delete_bucket.php
on line 5 Warning: Missing argument 2 for AmazonS3::delete_object() in
/var/www/awssdk/services/s3.class.php on line 1576 Notice: Undefined

exception 'S3_Exception' with message 'S3 does not support "Array" as a

/var/www/awssdk/services/s3.class.php on line 548'


This is line 548 in the above referenced file:

// Validate the S3 bucket name
                if (!$this->validate_bucketname_support($bucket))
                {
                        // @codeCoverageIgnoreStart
                        throw new S3_Exception('S3 does not support "' .
$bucket . '" as a valid bucket name. Review "Bucket Restrictions and
Limitations" in the S3 Developer Guide for more information.');
                        // @codeCoverageIgnoreEnd
                }




Has anyone played around enough with the AWS SDK to know what I'm doing
wrong here? Would anyone else be able to hazard a guess?

Thanks
Tim
