PHP not executing on Amazon S3

Question

I have a site which uses a simply php script to send an email when it is called. However the email is never being sent. I've tested this on my universities servers and it worked fine. Is there anything I have to do to make sure the php is getting processed by AWS? Do I have to configure my bucket a specific way?

I am new to AWS, but I have had success with a previous site so I am unsure why this isn't working.

PHP won't ever execute on Amazon S3. It's a storage service, not a compute service. If you want PHP, you'll need EC2.

Good to know! What amazon service am I looking for then?

Depends on your comfort level. Elastic Beanstalk is fairly easy but somewhat restricted. EC2 gives you more control but you're managing your own servers.
