I figured out how to ftp a string into a remote file using the ftp streams wrappers.
the code looks as follows (I leave out the definition of the [error logging] callback
PLFTPServerNotifier() the prototype requirements of which can be found in the manual):
<?php
$context = stream_context_create(array('ftp' => array('overwrite' => false)));
stream_context_set_params($context, array('notification' => 'PLFTPServerNotifier'));
$retval = file_put_contents("ftp://{$ftp_user}:{$ftp_pass}@{$ftp_server}:21/{$filename}";, $xml, 0, $context);
?>
turns out my upload function is 3 lines long - pretty cool stuff this streams functionality :-)
