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: "PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'RID' (T_STRING), expecting ',' or ';' in ... on line ..." is clearly a parse error you 3 options: * prove with "php -l /path/to/file.php" that it has no error * publish your file * leave the world in peace with things only you are able to see "why is die required and not optional?" - no clue what you are talking about Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-06-20 22:38:31] jmichae35 at gmail dot com this line of code came out of my large script. that's where the line number comes from. I cannot include the rest of my script because it is commercial code. I tried the example from the documentation (the 1st sample) the documentation got updated since then. then I made it work like it's supposed to work today, with a newly required die statement. why is die required and not optional? if you take out the die statement, it throws a RID error statement in the same format as my 1st error I showed you. "PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'RID' (T_STRING), expecting ',' or ';' in ... on line ..." my server doesn't take normal ftp either. I am sorry for getting angry. I know that dealing with bugs all day long can really get to a guy, and you start to need a refreshing time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-06-20 22:05:19] jmichae35 at gmail dot com having fun blasting at this bug? use your head and enable and try an ftp_connect. see if it returns something that can be stored in a variable or whether it breaks all over. I refuse your curses. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-06-18 06:17:02] spam2 at rhsoft dot net 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
