I just moved all my downloads from http to ftp and I was having some trouble modifying my scripts..

What I had before was:

PHP Code:


$dir="./ghdl/Files346tlm/file";

$sizedir = $dir;

 $dir = opendir("$dir");

  while($item = readdir($dir)){ ...

which was http://www.pregaming.com/ghdl/...

but now its ftp so I have to change the dir.

Web location: ftp://pregaming.com/pub/....
Server location: /anon_ftp/pub...

I tried both

PHP Code:


$dir=".anon_ftp/pub/...";

and

PHP Code:


$dir="ftp://pregaming.com/pub/...";

but both didn't work

(got the error:

Code:

 Warning: OpenDir: No such file or directory (errno 2) 
Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource

)

Any ideas? Thanks

Have a look at the FTP functions in the PHP manual.

So I can't use opendir() and readdir() when using ftp?

No, because FTP is it's own protocol, readdir() only works on the local filesystem.

if fopen wrappers are enabled then eg readfile('ftp://user

assword@yourdomain.com/') should work ?

Well, that's too advanced for me
