FTP Directory Help Splitting Current Directory

[Danny620]

Good Afternoon,

 

I'm building a FTP script that will connect to an ftp server list the current directory, then you can click into folders like a folder tree like "/ssr/Sale/Commission/2018/". I have a varible that logs the current folder your in, what I would like to do is split a string like "/ssr/Sale/Commission/2018/" into urls like below.

 

/ssr/Sale/Commission/

 

/ssr/Sale/

 

/ssr/

 

So when I user clicks the links it can move up the folder root like if they are in commisions folder there can be a link to take them back to sales or if they want to jump right back to ssr. How can I do this?

See dirname.

Hi this does not seem to be working for me

 

echo dirname($ftpObj->getCurrentDir());

What is $ftpObj? What is getCurrentDir? Where are those from? I don't know.

 

Read the docs for dirname() to understand what it does and how to use it, then figure out what you have to do to fit it into your code.

public function getCurrentDir()
    {
        if($this->currentDir == '/ssr') {
            return '/ssr/';
        }

        return $this->currentDir . '/';
    }

 

public function changeDir($directory)
    {
        if (ftp_chdir($this->connectionId, $directory)) {
            $this->logMessage('Current directory is now: ' . ftp_pwd($this->connectionId));
            $this->logCurrentDir(ftp_pwd($this->connectionId));
            return true;
        } else {
            $this->logMessage('Couldn\'t change directory');
            return false;
        }
    }

Seems fine. Keep looking for where the problem is. Maybe the echo isn't in the right place?
