Bug #11000 Updated: ftp_connect(...) produces ftpbuf 0 "error"

ID: 11000 User Update by: kniprath.l@wver.de Status: Open Bug Type: FTP related Operating system: NT 4.0 PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 Description: ftp_connect(...) produces ftpbuf 0 "error" Now the third answer for sniper@php.net (Hi Jani, I saw your question unfortunately just after I sent my last report): I used the ftp-server WAR-FTPD 1.67-05 (freeware, downloadable from http://www.jgaa.com) and tried it localy installed on my NT4.0 Worsstation with an external NT4.0 Intranet-Webserver (Apache with PHP 4.04).At home I used a Windows 2000 Workstation with local running Apache and PHP 4.0.4 first, 4.0.5 after a meanwhile update. The original error-message on all configurations was: "Warning: Unable to find ftpbuf 0 in e:\eigene dateien\php\liegenschaften\upload.php4 on line 10" Some new information: To my surprise this error does not occur at home, when I am connected to Internet. After dialing in the script runs also with "127.0.0.1" without any warnings, after shutting down the Internet-connection only $ftp_server = "localhost" or $ftp_server="#DNS_name_of_server#" is accteptd. This is also the reason for my second "workaround" as described before, this is no one, because '127.0.0.1' is only accepted when internet-connection is open. Hope, this will help you! bye... kni Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-21 21:15:19] kniprath.l@wver.de Send this bug-message this morning, got two answers myself this evening: Obviously php does not understand ftp-server-adresses in form of "127.0.0.1" or somehow, but when I used "localhost" or the name of the server defined in the Apache-Konfiguration the script below ran without any error-message. Another workaround: using '127.0.0.1' ran also without problems!?! kni --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-21 16:45:19] sniper@php.net Have you tried with some public ftp-server? Does it work then? And what is the full error message? --Jani --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-21 15:39:36] kniprath.l@wver.de I installed the PHP4 software (actual Windows binary 4.04pl1) with the actual Apache-Server on a NT 4.0 server. The FTP-Server I try to contact runs localy on my NT4.0 PC. The following script <?php $ftp_user = "username"; $ftp_pass = "password"; $ftp_server = "127.0.0.1"; $conn_id = ftp_connect("$ftp_server"); echo $conn_id; $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, "$ftp_user", "$ftp_pass"); ?> causes "Warning: Unable to find ftpbuf 0 in ....". $conn_id is null, it seems, that there is no connection. I found some similar error-messages in the php-FAQ's, but no answer. bye... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=11000
