fopen help

[hazmat]

Hi everyone
im trying to use fopen and getting php_hostconnect: connect failed and Bad file descriptor errors... anybody know any possible reasons why? I've searched around and have been unable to find any real info that solves this.

Code follows:

$location = "ftp://user:[e-mail]/home/html/test.txt";
if ($fp = fopen ($location, "w")) {
        fputs ($fp, "hello world");
        $fp = fclose ($location);
}else{
        // Could not create page
        echo "fopen failed.";
}

TIA

$file = fopen('ftp://user:[e-mail]/home/html/test.txt', 'w');
if (!$file) die('Can not write to remote file');
fputs($file, 'hello world');
fclose($file);

If that don't work, its your host or ftp info is bad.

Nah, that didn't work - what do I need to tell my host so I can get this working?

Maybe the info from phpinfo() would tell ya.

Thanks for the info so far - It's been a great help, however:

Checked out phpinfo() - allow_url_fopen=1

So it must be something else, right?

Maybe.... You sure you got access to write to that ftp file?

Think the chmod is 777 for that.
