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}:[EMAIL
PROTECTED]: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?
