"In order to use FTP functions with your PHP configuration, you should add the --enable-ftp option when installing PHP" is about ./configure when you buil dfrom source and in that case it would be statically compiled in the php-binary (fedora and redhat rpm packages as example just have the ftp functions available) when you compile it with "--enable-ftp=shared" you get a extension which needs to be loaded in php.ini with "extension = ftp.so" and if whoever built your php binaries did put it into a own rpm/deb package than seek it anyways THIS IS NOT a PHP bug, the problem exists between chair and keyboard Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-04-07 02:15:27] jmichae3 at yahoo dot com http://php.net/manual/en/ftp.installation.php this doesn't take into account that PHP doesn't have an installer anymore. FTP cannot be installed. it comes as a .zip file that you extract. is this something those docs are old. php.ini needs to be installed that needs to be enabled for it to work. ;extension=php_ftp.dll needs to be changed to extension=php_ftp.dll in fact, a lot of things are disabled for development for some strange reason, even mysql and pg stuff. please update the installation instructions. for *nix, there's probably an equivalent .so file (shared library, same as a .dll in windows) to enable FTP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-04-06 19:17:15] requinix@php.net http://php.net/manual/en/ftp.installation.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-04-06 19:13:57] jmichae3 at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function ftp_connect() in L:\w2\jtr\ftp7a.php:360 Test script: --------------- $host='somewhere.com'; $conn_id = ftp_connect($host); Expected result: ---------------- a resource id Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function ftp_connect() in L:\w2\jtr\ftp7a.php:360 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74389&edit=1
