Parameters

ftp_stream: The link identifier of the FTP connection.

Examples

Example 751. ftp_systype() example

copy to clipboard

<?php

// ftp connection
$ftp = ftp_connect('ftp.example.com');
ftp_login($ftp, 'user', 'password');

// get the system type
if ($type = ftp_systype($ftp)) {

    echo "Example.com is powered by $type\n";

} else {

    echo "Couldn't get the systype";

}

?>

The above example will output something similar to:

copy to clipboard

Example.com is powered by UNIX

ftp_systype can be a good way of checking the state of a connection, since PHP doesn't have a better system to check the state of an ftp connection (is_connected would be nice). if (!($type = ftp_systype($conn_id))) { echo "FTP connection has failed! Trying again.\n"; $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); $login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass); }
