File paths are not safe for Windows about aws-sdk-php

[yenfryherrerafeliz]

Hi @alaskancode, sorry to hear about your issue. I understand that some improvements could be done here for resolving paths depending on running environment, and this is something I will bring up to the team for discussion. However, there are some alternatives that you can use now for solving this issue and some of them are in the link that you posted already. If you properly set a value for AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE with a location of your preference then, you should have not issues if that location is a valid path and the file is a valid credentials one. I know the docs recommends using setx, but if that did not work then, you may need to check on your environment what is preventing that variable from being set. We can check here that we look at that variable value first and if is set then we give preference to that value over the default one. Windows also has another ways to set environment variables and I encourage you to try them. Below you can see a short example where I set AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE to a custom location and the SDK tried to use that one. Please see below:

<?php
require '../vendor/autoload.php';

use Aws\Credentials\CredentialProvider;
use Aws\S3\S3Client;

putenv("AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE='./mysharedcredsfile'");

$client = new S3Client([
    'region' => 'us-east-2',
    'credentials' => CredentialProvider::ini()
]);
$client->listBuckets();

Here is the output:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Aws\Exception\CredentialsException: Cannot read credentials from './mysharedcredsfile' in $PROJECT_DIR/src/Credentials/CredentialProvider.php:826
Stack trace:
...

Another solution for your issue is to provide the credentials file location explicitly to the credential provider as follow:

<?php
require '../vendor/autoload.php';

use Aws\Credentials\CredentialProvider;
use Aws\S3\S3Client;

$credentialsFilePath = 'YOUR_CUSTOM_CREDENTIALS_FILE_PATH';
$provider = CredentialProvider::ini(null, $credentialsFilePath);
$memoizedProvider = CredentialProvider::memoize($provider);
$s3Client = new S3Client([
    'region' => 'us-east-1',
    'credentials' => $memoizedProvider
]);
$s3Client->listBuckets();

Please let me know if that helps!

Thanks!
