Problem with fwrite and ftp-wrapper

cahva

Hi,

First heres the code:

<?php
$sFileContents = "Some text blah blah";

$oFileHandle =
fopen("ftp://*****:*****@ftp.myserver.com/file.txt", "w" );

if( $oFileHandle === false )
        print( "<br><b>Fopen succes</b>" );

if( fwrite( $oFileHandle, $sFileContents)===FALSE )
        print( "<br><b>Writing failed!</b>" );
else
        print( "<br><b>File write succesfull!</b><br>" );

fclose( $oFileHandle );
?>

Ok. Fopen is succesfull(it creates the file to server with size 0) but fwrite doesnt write anything to the file. Also fwrite doesnt give any errors..

I've tested this script with three servers. On servers with multiple vhosts it doesnt work and from our postserver(no vhosts) it is working.

Oh, and the script also works on main servers if I execute it via commandline! Do any of you guys/gals have an idea why it works in commandline but not in browser? I've checked php-settings and theres nothing wrong(and it really works in commandline so there shouldnt be..). I checked also apacheconf but nothing catched my eye in it.

Some info on the servers:
--dont work--
FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p5 with Apache/1.3.31 and PHP 4.3.8
FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE with Apache 1.3 and PHP 4.3.7

--Works--
FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE-p1 with Apache/2.0.50 and PHP 4.3.8

Somehow I think its related with apache(the working one has apache 2) but it can also be that mainservers have vhosts with different options enabled/disabled..

And by the way, this is my first time ever that im seeking some advice here! 🙂

Huh...didn't know you could do this using FTP to be honest with you. That shouldn't have anything to do with your Apache though, because Apache doesn't do much when it comes to FTP. FTP is its own protocol and therefore usually has its own thing.

I have been awake for about 10 minutes, so this answer/advice -may- be incorrect.

Yes you really can! 🙂

The reason why I thought it could be an apache issue is that the scrtipt works in commandline.

And the funny thing is that fopen("ftp://**:**@ftp.myserver.com/file.txt", "w" ); really works because it creates the file but fwrite doesnt write anything to that file. Too bad it doesnt give any error why..
