Identifying Whether a Bucket Exists

If you have any questions during development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub. For details about parameters and usage of each API, see the API Reference

You can call ObsClient->headBucket to identify whether a bucket exists. Sample code is as follows:

// Import the dependency library.
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
// Import the SDK code library during source code installation.
// require 'obs-autoloader.php';
// Declare the namespace.
use Obs\ObsClient;
// Create an instance of ObsClient.
$obsClient = new ObsClient([
       'key' => '*** Provide your Access Key ***',
       'secret' => '*** Provide your Secret Key ***',
       'endpoint' => 'https://your-endpoint'
]);

try{
       $resp = $obsClient->headBucket([
              'Bucket' => 'bucketname'
       ]);
       printf("Bucket exists");
}catch (\Obs\Common\ObsException $obsException){
       if($obsException->getStatusCode() === 404){
              printf("Bucket does not exist");
       }else{
              printf("ExceptionCode:%s\n", $obsException->getExceptionCode());       
              printf("getExceptionMessage:%s\n", $obsException->getExceptionMessage());
       }
}

If an exception is thrown and the returned HTTP status code is 404, the bucket does not exist.
