Using ftp_put() with a string...

[RahulKumar]

Can I use ftp_put to put the variable $bleh into a file?

[Selatos]

wouldn't it be easier to use fopen(), frwite(), etc?

[someonewhois]

Yeah, use fopen.

<?php
$bleh = 'ALSDJFLAKJFSDAFSD';
$fp = fopen('file.txt', 'w');
fwrite($fp, $bleh);
fclose($fp);
?>

You're done. On the other hand, if you're doing it remotely, you'll want to do that code, then FTP put file.txt, and then delete the local file.txt I don't think you can open a connection and edit live on the server.. FTP clients support that only by downloading it (to a temp file), and then on close uploading it... it's not in the FTP protocol, as far as I know.

Okay I ripped this from the PHP manual but I get a weird error:

//ftp settings - set these!
$ftp_server = "bsa270-memphis.com";
$ftp_user_name = "****";
$ftp_user_pass = "*****";
$destination_file = "IP_Log.txt";

//ftp writing process
if ($file_enabled == TRUE){
// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

// check connection
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) {
       echo "FTP connection has failed!";
       echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name";
       exit;
   } else {
       echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name";
   }

// upload the file
$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $filename, FTP_ASCII);

// check upload status
if (!$upload) {
       echo "FTP upload has failed!";
   } else {
       echo "Uploaded $source_file to $ftp_server as $destination_file";
   }
}

// close the FTP stream
ftp_close($conn_id); 

Warning: ftp_close() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\ipftp.php on line 56

[Selatos]

that means the connection failed, I believe. Add error_reporting(E_ALL); to the top and itll issue a warning or something if the connection fails(i don't know if !null equates to false.)

you must put ftp_close($conn_id); before the last closing brace.
