Re: ftp functions not working

I figured out why that it wasn't working. My prefix isn't the standard default prefix. I put php in /usr/local/apache/php. Though my script calls for /usr/local/bin/php...that php binary was copied there from the previous installation. Therefore, when I recompiled it was still using the 'old' binary. I should have created a symbolic link to the /usr/local/apache/php/bin/php file and this wouldn't have happened. Thanks for the quick repsonse. Marek Kilimajer wrote:

I am writing some backup scripts that will ftp my *.gz files to my ftp server. Unfortunately I didn't originally install php with ftp support (oversight on my part). I reconfigured/installed PHP with --enable-ftp and restarted everything, but the functions still don't work. #!/usr/local/bin/php <? if (function_exists('ftp_connect')): print "cool\n"; else: print "damn\n"; endif; ?> output when ran: 'Damn' During the make I didn't see any errors. When I ran phpinfo() [http://www.randomthoughtprocess.com/info.php] it shows that I have FTP support. Is there something that I am missing?

Did you install php cli binary? Is it installed in /usr/local/bin? Check the build date (/usr/local/bin/php -i | grep "Build Date").
