How to Connect to an FTP Site With PHP
- 1). Right-click the PHP file you want to edit. Click "Open With" in the popup menu, then double-click your preferred PHP editor.
- 2). Scroll down the page to the location where you want to connect to the FTP site. All PHP code must be between the "<?php" and "?>" tags.
- 3). Type the following code to connect to the FTP server:
$connect = ftp_connect("ftp://example.com") or die("Couldn't connect to the server");
Replace the FTP "example.com" domain with the FTP site to which you want to connect. The "or die" part of the function only displays if there is an error connecting to the FTP server.
