I'm using the latest version (2) of SDK for php. Below is a snippet of code for assigning a name tag to existing instance:
try {
$result = $ec2->createTags(array(
'Resources' => array($instanceid),
'Tags' => array(
'Name' => 'PWC_cwc'),
));
} catch (Exception $e) {
die("Failed to create tag name: ".$e."<br>");
}
Output:
Failed to create tag name: exception 'Guzzle\Service\Exception\ValidationException' with message 'Validation errors: [Tags][Name][Tag] must be of type object' in /Users/harry/Documents/workspace/BigData/vendor/guzzle/guzzle/src/Guzzle/Service/Command/AbstractCommand.php:394 Stack trace: #0
I'm guessing something is wrong with the way I pass the argument, but just couldn't figure out the correct way of doing this
The API link for createTags method is here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php-2/latest/class-Aws.Ec2.Ec2Client.html#_createTags
Try this:
$result = $ec2->createTags(array(
'Resources' => array($instanceid),
'Tags' => array(
'Tag' => array(
'Key' => '<key>',
'Value' => '<value>'
)
)
));
You need to have an array of 'Tag' inside the 'Tags' array.
You have to specify the 'Key' and 'Value' of each tag.
$args = array(
'DryRun' => False,
'Resources' => array($resource),
'Tags' => array(
array(
'Key' => 'firstkey',
'Value' => $firstkeyvalue),
array(
'Key' => 'secondkey',
'Value' => $secondkeyvalue),
array(
'Key' => 'thirdkey',
'Value' => $thirdkeyvalue)
));
$response = $ec2->createTags($args);
