I stumbled accross the following page while RTFMing: http://php.net/manual/en/wrappers.ftp.php very nice, it enabled me the come up wth the following to lines (nice and compact!): $context = stream_context_create(array('ftp' => array('overwrite' => true))); $retval = file_put_contents("ftp://{$ftp_user}:{$ftp_pass}@{$ftp_server}:21/{$filename}";, $xml, LOCK_EX, $context); BUT this leaves me with the problem of determining what went wrong if the file_put_contents() call fails. did the connection fail? did the login fail? did the write/upload fail (and why)? using the std. ftp functions it's [obviously] alot easier to determine at which point the failure occured. can anyone confirm I'm on the right track by trying to set 'notification' [stream]context parameter? > > TIA, > Jochem. > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
