ftp_alloc
(PHP 5)
ftp_alloc — Allocates space for a file to be uploaded
Description
bool ftp_alloc
( resource $ftp_stream
, int $filesize
[, string &$result
] )
Note:
Many FTP servers do not support this command. These servers may return a failure
code (FALSE) indicating the command is not supported or a success code (TRUE)
to indicate that pre-allocation is not necessary and the client should continue
as though the operation were successful. Because of this, it may be best to reserve
this function for servers which explicitly require preallocation.
Parameters
-
ftp_stream
-
The link identifier of the FTP connection.
-
filezise
-
The number of bytes to allocate.
-
return
-
A textual representation of the servers response will be returned by
reference in result
if a variable is provided.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Examples
Example #1 ftp_alloc() example
<?php
$file = "/home/user/myfile";
/* connect to the server */
$conn_id = ftp_connect('ftp.example.com');
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, 'anonymous', '[email protected]');
if (ftp_alloc($conn_id, filesize($file), $result)) {
echo "Space successfully allocated on server. Sending $file.\n";
ftp_put($conn_id, '/incomming/myfile', $file, FTP_BINARY);
} else {
echo "Unable to allocate space on server. Server said: $result\n";
}
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>
