#25065 [Bgs]: ftp_rmdir() returns true on failure and false on success

ID: 25065 User updated by: webmaster at crovortex dot com Reported By: webmaster at crovortex dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: FTP related Operating System: Win 98 SE PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment: I'm using GuildFTPd. Theres no real problem with the function...it works(ie it deletes directories if they exist and are empty) but just returns opposite results. If it deletes a directory it returns false and if it doesn't it returns true. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-12 16:56:51] iliaa@php.net Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. This is not a PHP bug, On success the FTP server MUST return 250 response code, otherwise it is not compliant with RFC959 on File Transfer Protocol. On that note I should mention that, just like Pollita I am unable to replicate this bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-12 16:44:19] pollita@php.net I can't reproduce that error here. What FTP server are you contacting? (The ftp_rmdir() function is looking for a response code of 250, perhaps your server is sending something else). Could you un-supress those error messages? When ftp_rmdir() fails it is supposed to output a message describing the error. Seeing those error messages would help. Is trying a recent snapshot an option? http://snaps.php.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-12 16:32:02] webmaster at crovortex dot com Description: ------------ PHP distribution: php-4.3.2-Win32.zip Apache dist: apache_2.0.47-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi When deleting empty directories function ftp_rmdir() returns true on failure and false on success, and according to the manual it should be the other way around. I ran the same code on PHP 4.0.1 and it worked as it should. Reproduce code: --------------- $test=1; $remdir="non_existing_dir"; if(@ftp_rmdir($spoj,$remdir)) $test++; echo "Test=$test<br>"; $remdir="existing_dir"; if(@ftp_rmdir($spoj,$remdir)) $test--; echo "Test=$test<br>"; Expected result: ---------------- Test=1 Test=0 Actual result: -------------- Test=2 Test=2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25065&edit=1
