#28507 [Opn->Bgs]: ftp_rawlist returns boolean (false)

ID: 28507 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: pear dot 20 dot fab at spamgourmet dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: FTP related Operating System: win 2000 PHP Version: 4.3.6 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php This is expected behavior when an error occurs. The cause of the error is either due to the ftp server not supporting this function or it's support is non-standard.

Is there a way to get a more exact error description? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-24 15:00:44] pear dot 20 dot fab at spamgourmet dot com Description: ------------ Hi *, im using ftp_rawlist() to browse some FTP servers. Sometimes ftp_rawlist returns a boolean value (false) instead of an array as stated in the documentation. Where does this boolean value come from? I'm sorry that i can not give you any code that reproduces this bug, because it seems to be path and server specific. If this is an expected behaviour of ftp_rawlist(), why is it not mentioned in the doc or the meaning of it? FTP functions just work fine for other directories and servers. The directories causing this bug (?) are always the same, although they are accessible without any problem with a normal FTP program. Regarrds, Nils. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28507&edit=1
