Creating a table using the AWS SDK for PHP

Now, let's understand how to create a DynamoDB table using the AWS SDK for PHP.

Getting ready…

You can use the IDE of your choice to code these recipes.

How to do it…

Let's start with creating a table called productTablePHP:

Instantiate the DynamoDB client for PHP. Specify the AWS region in which you wish to create the table in:
```
$client = DynamoDbClient::factory(array(
    'profile' => 'default',
    'region' => 'us-west-1'  
));
```

Invoke the createTable method by specifying the details, such as the table name, hash and range keys, and provisioned capacity units. Here, we will create a table with the primary key as the composite hash and range keys:

$result = $client->createTable(array(
    'TableName' => $tableName,
    'AttributeDefinitions' => array(
        array(
            'AttributeName' => 'id',
            'AttributeType' => 'N'
        ),
        array(
            'AttributeName' => 'type',
            'AttributeType' => 'S'
        )
    ),
    'KeySchema' => array(
        array(
            'AttributeName' => 'id',
            'KeyType' => 'HASH'
        ),
        array(
            'AttributeName' => 'name',
            'KeyType' => 'RANGE'
        )
    ),
    'ProvisionedThroughput' => array(
        'ReadCapacityUnits'    => 1,
        'WriteCapacityUnits' => 1
    )
));

Invoking this would result in the creation of a table in a specified region of AWS. You can confirm this using the AWS console.

How it works…

Once we invoke these APIs, the AWS SDK creates the table with specified details.
