Bug #74762 [Com]: ftp_connect makes php break with RID error

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74762&edit=1 ID: 74762 Comment by: spam2 at rhsoft dot net Reported by: jmichae35 at gmail dot com Summary: ftp_connect makes php break with RID error Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: FTP related Operating System: windows 7 x64 PHP Version: 7.1.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Damned your script has a syntax error somewhere around line 361 and nobody but you comes to the idea file a parse error as bug for whatever php function Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-06-18 02:37:03] jmichae35 at gmail dot com <?php $server="somewhere.com"; $port=21; $conn_id = ftp_connect($server,$port) or die("ERROR: ftp_connect() could not get FTP connection! \r\n");?> I was surprised you took out the time to nail me for not including <?php tags ?> instead of trying the script. it's easy to use. try your own FTP server. did you know the die statement is absolutely required now and I can't just compare $conn_id===false later for validity check? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-06-15 18:48:08] kalle@php.net The code itself you posted is valid, so the syntax error must occur at a later point in your code and does not imply a bug in PHP itself ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-06-15 05:45:48] requinix@php.net Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates all necessary tables, stored procedures etc. Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. This does not sound like a PHP bug. Make sure your code is syntactically valid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-06-15 03:03:32] jmichae35 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'RID' (T_STRING), expecting ',' or ';' in T:\w2\jtr\ftp7a.php on line 361 Test script: --------------- $conn_id = ftp_connect($host,$port) or die("ERROR: ftp_connect() could not get FTP connection! \r\n"); Expected result: ---------------- a valid connection. I even tried lowercasing the domain (which should not be necessary). domains are to be case insensitive according to the RFC. Actual result: -------------- PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'RID' (T_STRING), expecting ',' or ';' in T:\w2\jtr\ftp7a.php on line 361 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74762&edit=1
