php-awsHow do I use AWS Secrets Manager with PHP?

Using AWS Secrets Manager with PHP is easy. You can use the AWS SDK for PHP to access the Secrets Manager service.

The following example code block shows how to retrieve a secret value using the getSecretValue method of the Aws\SecretsManager\SecretsManagerClient class:

<?php

use Aws\SecretsManager\SecretsManagerClient;

$client = new SecretsManagerClient([
    'region' => 'us-east-1',
    'version' => 'latest',
]);

$secretValue = $client->getSecretValue([
    'SecretId' => 'my-secret',
]);

echo $secretValue['SecretString'];

This code will output the secret value stored in the my-secret secret.

Code explanation

1. use Aws\SecretsManager\SecretsManagerClient; - imports the SecretsManagerClient class.
2. $client = new SecretsManagerClient([ - creates a new SecretsManagerClient instance.
3. 'SecretId' => 'my-secret' - specifies the name of the secret to retrieve.
4. $secretValue = $client->getSecretValue([ - calls the getSecretValue method to retrieve the secret value.
5. echo $secretValue['SecretString']; - outputs the secret value.
