note 31668 added to function.ftp-nlist

If you do a wildcard or other search for a particular file and the file doesn't exist, Solaris FTP servers send back "search*.xml: No such file or directory" as a single element in the response array. This makes it hard to check for the presence of a file. One possible work-around is to parse your own raw directory listing. Or you could check for the error verbatim. But different servers could return different values. A simpler way to compensate is to use the ftp_size command to validate the returned file: if ( ($filelist = ftp_nlist( $this->conn_id, $filesearch )) === FALSE ) { Error( "Could not get file list" ); return FALSE; } // File actually exists? Catches invalid FTP server list responses if ( !count($filelist) || ftp_size( $this->conn_id, $filelist[0] ) == -1 ) { Error( "No valid files" ); return FALSE; } // File is really there, fetch it or whatever else you want to do -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-nlist.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31668 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31668 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31668
