I am using php as my server side language.

Thanks in advance

For nesting files on bucket's subfolder I first created subfolder via PHP as below:

if(!($s3->if_object_exists($S3_BUCKET, 'mysubfolder/'))) {
     $s3->create_object($S3_BUCKET,'mysubfolder/', array('body' => ''));
};

then with SWFUPLOAD via javascript code in the post_params array I appended on key value the name of my nested subfolder as follows:

post_params: {"AWSAccessKeyId":"AXAXAXAXAX", "key":"mysubfolder/${filename}", "acl":"public-read", "policy":"SAgXQ0KCX0=","signature":"QvbfiUUsRby8wovt=","success_action_status":"201", "content-type":"image/"}

Another code segment. check where is uppercase letters

/********************************* PHP CODE */

if(!($s3->if_object_exists($S3_BUCKET, 'mysubfolder/'))) {
     $s3->create_object($S3_BUCKET,'IMAGES/', array('body' => ''));
};

....

/********************************** JAVASCRIPT CODE */

post_params: {"AWSAccessKeyId":"AXAXAXAXAX", "key":"IMAGES/${filename}", "acl":"public-read", "policy":"SAgXQ0KCX0=","signature":"QvbfiUUsRby8wovt=","success_action_status":"201", "content-type":"image/"}

You may find this article helpful:

http://www.flynsarmy.com/2011/03/upload-to-amazon-s3-with-uploadify/

It's using Uploadify instead of the SWFUpload library (but I think Uploadify uses the SWFUpload library internally). Regardless, the concept is still the same. You need to include the folder in your policy and request.

you should include the file path in your policy and post parameters. for example, when setting your policy array, set the key of the file to be "/path/../filename.ext". 

array("starts-with", '$key', $this->file_key);

use that in the key in post parameters

i got the same problem as well, it seems amazon s3 doesn't have folder concept, the workaround most people suggest is create a object with names like folder/test.txt.

If you're using the php-aws library, there's really not much to it:

$S3   = new S3(AWS_KEY, AWS_SECRET);
$from = 'fileonyourserver.ext';
$to   = '/path/to/place/in/inside/bucket/.../file.ext';
if ($S3->putObject(AWS_BUCKET, $to, $from, true)){
   //upload success
}
