Hi All,
I'm trying to make a image host for my members. Because I just moved hosts, I still have some time left on the "old" one. So, I was thinking I'll use it for the image host uploads. I got this code from php.net an I keep getting this error:

Warning: ftp_login() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/myusername/public_html/imghost/_upload.php on line 16
FTP connection has failed!
Attempted to connect to myftpserver.com for user imghost@mysite.com

and the source:

PHP Code:


			
<?php
if(isset($_POST['start_upload']) && $_FILES['txt_file']['name'] != ""){
    
    $local_file = $_FILES['txt_file']['tmp_name']; // Defines Name of Local File to be Uploaded

    $destination_file = "/".basename($_FILES['txt_file']['name']);  // Path for File Upload (relative to your login dir)

    // Global Connection Settings
    $ftp_server = "MyFTPServer.com";      // FTP Server Address (exlucde ftp://)
    $ftp_user_name = "MyUsername";     // FTP Server Username
    $ftp_user_pass = "MySecretPasswordThatIChaged";      // Password

    // Connect to FTP Server
    $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
    // Login to FTP Server
    $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
   
    // Verify Log In Status
    if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) {
        echo "FTP connection has failed! <br />";
        echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name";
        exit;
    } else {
        echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name <br />";
    }

    $upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $local_file, FTP_BINARY);  // Upload the File
   
    // Verify Upload Status
    if (!$upload) {
        echo "<h2>FTP upload of ".$_FILES['txt_file']['name']." has failed!</h2><br /><br />";
    } else {
        echo "Success!<br />" . $_FILES['txt_file']['name'] . " has been uploaded to " . $ftp_server . $destination_file . "!<br /><br />";
    }

    ftp_close($conn_id); // Close the FTP Connection
}
?>

<html>
    <head>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            window.onload = function() {
                document.getElementById("progress").style.visibility = "hidden";
                document.getElementById("prog_text").style.visibility = "hidden";
            }
           
            function dispProgress() {
                document.getElementById("progress").style.visibility = "visible";
                document.getElementById("prog_text").style.visibility = "visible";
            }
           
        </script>
       
    </head>
    <body>
        <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
            Please choose a file: <input name="txt_file" type="file" size="35" />
            <input type="submit" name="start_upload" value="Upload File" onClick="dispProgress()" />
        </form>
       
        <img id="progress" src="http://images.mysite.com/progress.gif" />
        <p id="prog_text" style="display:inline;"> Upload Started!</p>

Thanks for your help!

This means that ftp_connect() fails and returns false. Is your port 21? If not, specify another one in the second parameter of ftp_connect(). Does your server maybe have another FTP subdomain such as ftp.your-domain.com ?

Think what else could be the reason that the script cannot connect to your host.

Compare the values you use here with the values of your FTP client which you usually use to transfer your files.

Well, the FTP is on port 21. The server does not have a FTP subdomain. I'll think of more ways, though.

If you use the same values you're using here, in your FTP client which you usually use to transfer your files... does it work?

I just used the same details. The FTP Client worked but the file didn't.

Use the code from the PHP manual example for ftp_connect so you'll know that the host failed.

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$ftp_server = "ftp.example.com";

// set up a connection or die
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server"); 

?>

Mind sharing the solution, in case someone else has the same problem?

Actually, it was a host problem. I didn't check that their FTP was down for an amount of time. My Lesson: Check before you ask
