Logging Amazon SES Message ID

This might be a simple question but I've searched and searched and can't find an answer.

I'd like to log the message ID for each email sent so I can more accurately do bounce handling.

I'm using the AWS PHP SDK to send my emails. How can I get the message ID after I send an email?

Updated answer: sendEmail returns a Guzzle\Service\Resource\Model.

You can get the value of MessageId with $response->get('MessageId')

You can get the response from amazon into a variable and then parse the xml;

$res = $this->amazon_ses->send();
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($res);
$email_id = (string) $xml->SendEmailResult[0]->MessageId;

This worked well for me

Found the answer...

I'm able to retrieve the MessageID from the response object I get upon sending an email with SES.

$response->body->SendEmailResult->MessageId
