ftp_chdir notice error

[Ron Piggott]

I am using the result of “ ftp_chdir “ to know if the directory exists or not. If the result is “false” then I make the directory:

===
<?php

if ( ftp_chdir( $this->getFtpConnection() , $new_directory ) == FALSE ) {

if ( ftp_mkdir( $this->getFtpConnection() , $new_directory ) ) {
return TRUE;
} else {
return FALSE;
}

} else {
return TRUE;
}

?>
===

However when the result is ‘false’ a PHP warning is created: “ PHP Warning: ftp_chdir(): Failed to change directory “ How can I avoid this warning?

Use the function file_exists.

[Jigar Dhulla]

"@" in the beginning of the function like *@ftp_chdir();* should suppress
the warning. Or you can use error_reporting();

error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_PARSE); should suppress the warning too.

I know about using “@” to suppress errors.

I want to know if it is possible to avoid causing the error altogether.

Okay. According to ftp_chdr(); that is an error. So i don't think you can
avoid that.

Other option is that you can use FTP Wrapper (
http://www.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.ftp.php ) is_dir();

like:
is_dir('ftp://user:***@example.com/some/dir/path');

There is no equivalent to file_exists in the FTP function set, so you'll need to implement it yourself by listing the directory and checking for it yourself.

the warning. Or you can use error_reporting();
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_PARSE); should suppress the warning too.
This is a really *BAD IDEA* (tm), you should always try to resolve an

error rather than just ignoring it. Good code almost never contains the
error-suppression operator (@).

On a sidenote, your error_reporting line is faulty. It's impossible to
stop E_PARSE errors from being displayed by adding an error_reporting
line inside a PHP script. This is simply because PHP first parses the
script (and immediately throws an E_PARSE error); and only if it has no
errors will it execute it and run your error_reporting line. In other
words: by the time it runs the error_reporting line, it's already to
late (although in practice with an E_PARSE error it will never even
reach that point).
