PHP And Its FTP Functions

[serpentwolf]

Hi,
Im new to this board, but i have searched for the issue Id like to discuss. I couldnt find anything, apologies for the new thread...

I have installed php5 and apache on my dev computer to ease my coding, and I am busy writing a PHP based FTP client...

The problem I am having is quite annoying. The ftp logs in and out immediately after each "transaction" and this causes me alot of annoyance.

I have made several functions, one for each purpose, for example...

kickstart() - connects, etc, returns the connection $conn
changedir() - changes directories
removedir() - removes directories
and so on...

$conn is global, and im using it as a global in each function. problem is, teh server logs me out after each function.

if i JUST call changedir(), it will mysteriously connect, change dir, then disconnect from ftp server immediately...

kickstart() contains all the connect and login details. I onyl call it once when script runs for the first time, and then it disconnects, i dont even have an idea how it knows how to connect every time...

If possible, can someone explain why the ftp wont stay connected until i tell it to ftp_close();

thanks alot... greetings

Well, that would get quite annoying, wouldn't it?

I haven't messed around too much with PHP5's FTP abilities... perhaps its an easy coding error your missing? Post some code for me/us to look over, perhaps?

Hi, welcome to the boards. Thing is, this particular forum is for issues dealing with the transition from PHP4 to PHP5 due to differences between the two; if your problem isn't specifically related to such a transition, then it would be better placed in the Coding forum. And like bradgrafelman said, having some code to look at would probably help.

Seems on php5 it works, and on php4 goes arb.
