(PHP ActiveX) REST Download Binary to Memory (Byte Array) (Amazon S3)

Demonstrates how to make a REST call that returns a binary response body. This example is valid for reasonably small files that fit in memory. The example shows how to download a small JPG from the Amazon S3 service. For larger files, Chilkat provides streaming functionality to stream directly to a file, or to make an asynchronous call where the foreground thread can read the response body stream.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

// there are three important changes that need to be made.
// See Working with S3 Buckets in Non-us-east-1 Regions for the details.
