How to get user-id or AWS account id via AWS PHP SDK

Is there anyway to get UserId or a.k.a. AWS Account ID?

I have checked the documentation but could not locate (...or probably it doesn't exists...) a method call which returns the UserId.

I haven't used the PHP SDK, but AWS have added a GetCallerIdentity API call in STS which can give you both the User ID and the Account ID. It's available here:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v3/api/api-sts-2011-06-15.html#getcalleridentity

$result = $client->getCallerIdentity([/* ... */]);

Returns:

[
  'Account' => '<string>',
  'Arn' => '<string>',
  'UserId' => '<string>',
]

You CAN, actually, extract account-id from User's ARN. Without creating any "additional" resources, as IAM User is already an Resource.

GetUser call on IAM Client. Then parse the ARN string by pattern.

Sort of. There's no way to get it without creating a resource. Many resources have an ARN associated with it. You can extract the Account ID from the ARN, but you'd have to create a resource first.
