[thelist] Amazon signature key: check my PHP?

[Joel Canfield]

Any PHP experts see an error in how I'm creating this signature key? Testing
on a simple JPEG, it returns the error
SignatureDoesNotMatch The request signature we calculated does not match the
signature you provided. Check your key and signing method.

Since this isn't my code and I'm not PHP smart enough to know anything about
base64_encode, hash_hmac, or sha1 and all that, I'm pretty much stuck.

<?php
    define("AWS_S3_KEY", "my real key is here");
    define("AWS_S3_SECRET", "my other real key is here");
    $expires = time()+60*60; // generous, for testing
    $bucket = "bizba6";
    $resource = "camels2.jpg";
    $string_to_sign = "GET\n{$expires}\n/{$bucket}/{$resource}";
    $signature = urlencode(base64_encode(hash_hmac("sha1",
utf8_encode($string_to_sign), AWS_S3_SECRET, true)));
    $authentication_params = "AWSAccessKeyId=".AWS_S3_KEY;
    $authentication_params.= "&Expires={$expires}";
    $authentication_params.= "&Signature={$signature}";
    $link = "
https://s3.amazonaws.com/{$bucket}/{$resource}?{$authentication_params}";
    echo "<a href=\"".htmlentities($link)."\">{$resource}</a>";
?>
