PHP FTP scripting need some help please

[kosch]

Hello

 

I have a site hosted in the rackspace cloudsite and have been trying to write a script to send the nightly backups I take to my own ftp server but it hasnt been going very well. I'm no coder by a mile more server infrastructure so I'm probably missing something obvious here.

 

I was hoping someone could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.

 

This is what I see when I download the php log.

 

[20-May-2010 06:00:24] PHP Warning:  ftp_put() [<a href='function.ftp-put'>function.ftp-put</a>]: Filename cannot be empty in /mnt/stor3-wc2-dfw1/882921/kosch.xyz.org/web/content/kosch/ftp3.php on line 30

 

I'm not sure why its saying its empty as when I execute the php file $source & $destination_file return the paths I'm looking for.

 

Thanks
