ID: 14781 Updated by: mfischer Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: FTP related Operating System: Linux Redhat 6.2/7.2 PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment:
Your code doesn't watch out for operator precedence: $foo = function1() || die("i'm dead now"); will evalute to $foo = ( function1() || die("i'm dead now") ); which means $foo will be true (if function1 succeeded). For your code this means: $hFtp = ( ftp_connect ("localhost") || die ("Could not connect.\n") ). and therefore $hFtp will be boolean true and not your resource/connection id. Proper parenthesizing will solve this: ( $hFtp = ftp_connect ("localhost") ) || die ("Could not connect.\n"); Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-31 11:30:49] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I wanted to connect to a ftp server, get some files and insert them into a database. I started connecting to the ftp server, then logging in and that worked fine. Then I added a mysql_connect and now I get an error on ftp_login that says that it can not find ftpbuf. (tried on two systems: Linux Redhat 6.2, Linux Redhat 7.2). I'm not sure if this is a failure of ftp functions, mysql, a documentation problem or me being too stupid. After dropping all unneccessary code, the file looks like that: <?php $hHandle=mysql_connect("localhost", "nobody", "") or die ("no connection.\n"); mysql_close ($hHandle); #this can be dropped $hFtp = ftp_connect ("localhost") #this works || die ("Could not connect.\n"); # next line results in an error: $iLoginResult=ftp_login($hFtp, "nobody", "") || die ("Error: Unable to login\n"); ?> I got the following error message: Warning: Unable to find ftpbuf 1 in "scipt" on line "XX", (which is the ftp_login line (ftp_connect works!)). If you drop mysql_connect, its working fine... I'm using build in mysql support (for version 3.23.39), ftp is of course enabled too. Hopefully this is a stupid question and there is an easy answer... Thanks in advance and a happy new year, flim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14781&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
