note 86924 added to function.ftp-get

A subtle issue with the ftp_get() function. The second param, string $local_file, is a file name on the SERVER running the php script. It is NOT a file on the client machine running the browser. I erroneously tried to use this ftp to download a file from my site to my local system. I entered the full path starting with the drive letter ("h:/...") on a system running WIN XP and kept getting a failure of unable to open (destination) file. Only after just putting in a file name with no pathing did I see where the file was written. It was in the directory on my site where the php script is located (hosting is managed shared LAMP server which supports multiple url's, GoDaddy hosting). ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 70.249.41.237 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-get.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/86924 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86924/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86924/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86924/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86924/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86924/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86924/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/86924 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/86924 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
