note 70166 added to function.ftp-nlist

A derived use of ftp_nlist function: determine if a given path exists and is a directory or a plain file (this is not easy with basic ftp functions). This code doesn't issue any warning or error. It makes use of ls option -d for efficiency, and -F to append a slash if the retrieved path is a directory. <?php // returns information on a given ftp path // 0 if path does not exist // 1 if path is a file // 2 if path is a directory function ftp_pathtype( $conn, $path ) { $res = ftp_nlist( $conn, "-dF " . $path ); if ( isset( $res[0] ) and strlen( $res[0] ) ) { if ( $res[0][ strlen( $res[0] )-1 ] === "/" ) // a directory return 2; else return 1; } else return 0; } ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 217.174.201.226 (proxied: 128.2.123.225) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-nlist.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/70166 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70166/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70166/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70166/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70166/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70166/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70166/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70166 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/70166 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
