–enable-ftp ???

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 22.2006

I’m adding a feature to a very simple web forum, to allow users to attach a file to their post. I have set up an additional ftp login with my host server, I’ve set the chmod to 777 on the directory that it points to, and now I’ve got some code. I get the error “call to undifined function: ftp_connect()”…

I see in the [URL=http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.ftp.php]php manual[/URL] that it says to “add the –enable-ftp option when installing PHP 4 or greater”.

Does the error mean this is something I need to do?

If so, how? Add a line to my .htaccess file? If so, how?

@strBeanauthorFeb 22.2006 — This is what it says:

In order to use FTP functions with your PHP configuration, you should add the --enable-ftp option when installing PHP 4 or greater or --with-ftp when using PHP 3.

I'm using my own copy of PHP 5. It could be that I need to add a line to my php.ini file. I called my hosting service, not much help.

Anybody ever had ftp_connect() generate an "undefined" error?

@strBeanauthorFeb 22.2006 — Sorry, *****ious newbie here.

I don't need ftp to offer users the chance to upload a file? What do I call to upload the file, before I move it with move_uploaded_file()?

@SheldonFeb 22.2006 — with a form, use a <input type="file"> then your form processing will involve the move_uploaded_file();

For [i]filename[/i] and [i]destination[/i], do I use the full path for both of them?

Success!
