Delete object or bucket in Amazon S3?

Question

I created a new amazon bucket called "photos". The bucket url is something like:

www.amazons3.salcaiser.com/photos

Now I upload subfolders containing files, into that bucket for example

www.amazons3.salcaiser.com/photos/thumbs/file.jpg

My questions are, does thumbs/ is assumed a new bucket or is it an object?

Then if I want to delete the entire thumbs/ directory need I first to delete all files inside that or can I delete all in one time?

Answer 1

//Include s3.php file first in code

if (!class_exists('S3'))
            require_once('S3.php');
        //AWS access info
        if (!defined('awsAccessKey'))
            define('awsAccessKey', 'awsAccessKey');
        if (!defined('awsSecretKey'))
            define('awsSecretKey', 'awsSecretKey');
        //instantiate the class
        $s3 = new S3(awsAccessKey, awsSecretKey);

  if ($s3->deleteObject("bucketname", `filename`)) {
        echo 'deleted';
}
else
{
echo 'no file found';
}
