Ever needed to create an FTP connection resource defaulted to a particular dir from a URI? Here's a simple function that will take a URI like ftp://username:[email protected]/path1/path2/, and return an FTP connection resource.
<?php
function getFtpConnection($uri)
{
/ Split FTP URI into:
/ $match[0] = ftp://username:[email protected]/path1/path2/
/ $match[1] = ftp://
/ $match[2] = username
/ $match[3] = password
/ $match[4] = sld.domain.tld
/ $match[5] = /path1/path2/
preg_match("/ftp:\/\/(.*?):(.*?)@(.*?)(\/.*)/i", $uri, $match);
/ Set up a connection
$conn = ftp_connect($match[1] . $match[4] . $match[5]);
/ Login
if (ftp_login($conn, $match[2], $match[3]))
{
/ Change the dir
ftp_chdir($conn, $match[5]);
/ Return the resource
return $conn;
}
/ Or retun null
return null;
}
?>
