When you're using SourceFile option at putObject S3Client opens a file, but doesn't close it after operation.

In most cases you just can unset $client and/or $result to close opened files. But unfortunately not in this case.

Use Body option instead of the SourceFile.

// temp file
$file = fopen($temp_path, "r");

// use resource, not a path
$result = $client->putObject(array(
        'Bucket'     => self::$bucketName,
        'Key'        => 'screenshot/testing.png',
        'Body'       => $file,
        'ACL'        => 'public-read'
    ));
);

fclose($file);

unlink($temp_path);
