note 95186 added to function.ftp-connect

There were some mistakes in sean at boyercentral dot net's ftp connection function. The regular expression doesn't split the uri like shown in the example (the array element containing the ftp protocol prefix is missing). Plus, adding the ftp prefix oder directory adress to the host adress given to the ftp_connect function may result in an error. I adjusted his function to work properly: <?php function getFtpConnection($uri) { // Split FTP URI into: // $match[0] = ftp://username:password@sld.domain.tld/path1/path2/ // $match[1] = username // $match[2] = password // $match[3] = sld.domain.tld // $match[4] = /path1/path2/ preg_match("/ftp:\/\/(.*?):(.*?)@(.*?)(\/.*)/i", $uri, $match); // Set up a connection $conn = ftp_connect($match[3]); // Login if (ftp_login($conn, $match[1], $match[2])) { // Change the dir ftp_chdir($conn, $match[4]); // Return the resource return $conn; } // Or retun null return null; } ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 87.172.224.95 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-connect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/95186 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95186/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95186/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95186/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95186/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95186/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95186/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95186 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/95186 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
