STEP 1 : Download the script file index.php.

STEP 2 : Download the AWS PHP SDK (You can refer this documentation : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-php/v3/developer-guide/getting-started_installation.html )

Once you have downloaded the Script file and the SDK move that files to the server where you are hosting the project in my case I am locally hosting and using XAMPP.

STEP 3 : In the script file you have to add the credentials (Remember don't share the credentials with any one.")

Fields you have to edit are:

Line No. 29. You have to mention the Host as per the AWS Zone which you are using.

SMTP Region list.

Line No. 42 and 45 where you have to enter the credentials. That is username and password. In my case i have randomly added XYZXYZ.

Now how to obtain this username and password...?

Please refer the documentation given below

From the Documentation you have to follow this particular part
