note 89811 added to function.ftp-connect

Ever needed to create an FTP connection resource defaulted to a particular dir from a URI? Here's a simple function that will take a URI like ftp://username:password@sld.domain.tld/path1/path2/, and return an FTP connection resource. <?php function getFtpConnection($uri) { // Split FTP URI into: // $match[0] = ftp://username:password@sld.domain.tld/path1/path2/ // $match[1] = ftp:// // $match[2] = username // $match[3] = password // $match[4] = sld.domain.tld // $match[5] = /path1/path2/ preg_match("/ftp:\/\/(.*?):(.*?)@(.*?)(\/.*)/i", $uri, $match); // Set up a connection $conn = ftp_connect($match[1] . $match[4] . $match[5]); // Login if (ftp_login($conn, $match[2], $match[3])) { // Change the dir ftp_chdir($conn, $match[5]); // Return the resource return $conn; } // Or retun null return null; } ?> ---- Server IP: 216.235.13.26 Probable Submitter: 142.166.223.149 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-connect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/89811 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89811/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89811/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89811/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89811/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89811/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89811/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89811 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/89811 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
