ftp_rename()

[scott_allen13]

I have a script that i didn't write that uploads a photo and then resizes it and renames it. it uses ftp_rename() which looks fairly straight forward. but for some reason, it's not working.

 

// set up basic connection
		$conn_id=0;
		$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server, $port); 

		// login with username and password
		@ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);
		@ftp_chdir($conn_id, '/pictures/');

		// rename the file
		$ImagePath = "zXy".$ImageNum.".".$ImageType;
		$newName = "dog".$DogID.".".$ImageType;
		if(@ftp_rename($conn_id, $ImagePath, $newName)) {
			echo "successful rename.";
		} else {
			echo " broken";
		}
		@ftp_close($conn_id);

 

that doesn't seem difficult to read and looks right to me. but it always echos "broken". i've traced thru all the variables, and it says it is changing the right file to the correct new name, but it just doesn't do it. also, the ftp connection is definitely being made. any other ideas?

Remove the @ from the begining of the call to ftp_rename. This should enable errors which may give you a better idea of the problem.

sorry, i've removed it... i'm not getting any errors. it just fails the if, runs the else and keeps moving.

Then you need to enable errors. Put this at the top of your script.

 

<?php error_reporting(E_ALL) ; ini_set('display_errors','1'); ?>

the problem must have been elsewhere. it's working now. does ftp_rename have issue with being in a folder, rather than the root of the server? either way... thanks for trying to help.
