[SOLVED] PHP Warning: ftp_login() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given

[Panjabel]

I have an upload script. Sometimes it works but sometimes i get this error:

PHP Warning:  ftp_login() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /tmp/oke/s.php on line 47

How can i solve it ?

first times it works, but after 3-4 logins i get that error, then i have to wait for a minute to try again

It's likely that your ftp server is just down at the time the script runs or it is not accepting your connections. If ftp_connect() has a problem connecting to the ftp server, it will return false instead of the resource connection to the database, hence the cause of the error.

 

you can try pinging the server before connecting to see if it's working, or you can just check to see if false is returned when you connect... unfortunately if the issue is that your script can't connect at that time, you'll just have to wait it out...
