MY PHP Code -----

    require 'config.php';
    use Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient;

    $client = new DynamoDbClient([
        //'profile' => 'default', // access ID + secret are in the       .aws/credentials file

    if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {

    if(!empty($_POST["userid"]) && !empty($_POST["password"])) {
         $username = $_POST["userid"];
         $password = $_POST["password"];

         $response = $client->getItem(array(
             'TableName' => 'user',
             'Key' => array(
             'userid' => array( 'S' => $username),
             'password' => array( 'S' => $password),
         )
         ));

         if($username == 'userid' && $password == 'password') {
              session_start();
              $_SESSION["authenticated"] = 'true';

I suspect your primary key (hash / partition key) is actually "userid", rather than "userid" + "password". As such, DynamoDB is telling you exactly that - whatever names you are using to pass to DynamoDB don't match up with what DynamoDB considers your primary key. I imagine once you take out the below line it will get closer to working for you:

'password' => array( 'S' => $password),

Just as an aside, you may want to securely store your passwords with some kind of algorithm - maybe bcrypt or similar. Otherwise your passwords are stored plain-text, which isn't considered a good practice these days.
