`Ever needed to create an FTP connection resource defaulted to a particular dir from a URI? Here's a simple function that will take a URI like ftp://username:password@subdomain.example.com/path1/path2/, and return an FTP connection resource.
// $match[2] = username // $match[3] = password // $match[4] = sld.domain.tld // $match[5] = /path1/path2/ preg_match("/ftp:\/\/(.*?):(.*?)@(.*?)(\/.*)/i", uri,uri, uri,match);// Set up a connection conn=ftpconnect(conn = ftp_connect(conn=ftpconnect(match[1] . match[4].match[4] . match[4].match[5]);// Login if (ftp_login($conn, match[2],match[2], match[2],match[3])) { // Change the dir ftp_chdir($conn, $match[5]);// Return the resource return $conn; }// Or retun null return null; } ?>`
